Nice shots. Which is the new lens - the 300 f4? Had mone for a few weeks now lovely bit of kit.

Current choice a 50/50 Mix of both Einzett 1Z Exclusive and 1Z Perls shampoos from www.cleanandshiny.co.uk Other faves, Extreme Body Wash and Wax if I have no time to wax after, or Sonax Gloss shampoo.

Gutting mate, hope you get it sorted. :(

Corrolla pic is fantastic.

Never ;) :rasp:

What Si said plus, give the Auto Focus a second of so tracking the car so you pick it properly with the shutter half pressed at least befor you shoot. Use the centre AF or one of the points only for more accurate tracking and quicker AF pick up. Most important one I have found, follow through...

There is a problem here though: Not drying the car before using claying with Quick Detailer, means the excess water on the car *may* water down the QD too much and *may* reduce the slickness of the lube. I would suggest claying with the car soap and water mix rather than QD in this situation...

;) Cheers Maz, Yeah I just have mild OCD when it comes to cleaning cars.

LOL Cheers Maz. No nothing to do with car cleaning at all at work, just a hobby.

Great demo of the shutter speeds there Chris, anything above 1/400 will not show any motion. I need to practice more and get down to some slower shutter speeds for pans. That said I dont really like pans that much for cars.

Ummm I dont know why! No I work at a design agency.

1/320 at an ISO to get around f8 of less (depends how sharp your less is) for head on and 3/4 shots. 1/200 ideally 1/160 or less for side on pans, depends on the length of the lens and how steady your hand holding is. I struggle to go less than 1/100 Si can do 1/80 pans.

Yeah after doing a panel, spray on some more QD and wipe clean. I tend to clay after washing with the car still wet and use a clay lube made of car shampoo and water which also works well and is a bit safer on the paint IMO. But means you need to re-wash after. They key is plenty of...

If using quick deatiler to clay with. Wash the car, dry. Warm the clay up so it is soft, normally a good idea to split the bar into 3. Roll the clay into a ball them squash flat. Spray the QD onto the panel, ****use plenty**** lightly rub the clay across the lubricated area. Keep kneading the...

Will do Maz.

Sure do! So no, not 100% sure on what yet.

Very much doubt it. Argh right wanting to keep mine till Trax and the RWS in September, but may be going after that.

If you have not found one in a few weeks there may be a Black one going!

Any local engineering place should be able to weld the the broken bit. As for the mounts I ended up getting those uprated yellow poly exhaust mounts for my old 309 GTi as it just sagged with the standard ones.

The ones that catch will not polish out, the ones that disapear when wet should polish out.

Blaggers ;)

The triangle, going up in October. Not secret there is a fair bit on the web about it!

Can't Al, not one I use!

You can only edit the post for a certain amount of time on here. Sure will :) Will let you have some feedback on those dressings when I try them.

A bit overkill though as it will also strip whatever wax or sealant of your paint aswell. Not a problem if your rewaxing after.

How deep are they? - If they are deep enough to catch a nail in you wont get them out as a rule.
