    Not bad. Looks like he's spent a bit of time on it. Would be good to see some close-ups under direct light

    He missed some polish on the right side door near the handle and where it meets the rear door though




    EDIT: Here are some close ups of an OzMPS member's car I did on the weekend. This is his roof which he had painted high gloss piano black









    Patience, time, elbow grease, and a little know-how (more of the other three though..... Well for me anyway lol )

    Its amazing what a bit of retouching in Photoshop can do

    Given the condition of the tyres, it would appear that it barely leaves the garage

    Exactly. My photography skills are shithouse to say the least and I still managed this. It did still look even better in the flesh though.

    But you're the Detail Master Joel :P

    I think I need to work on my photography skills though. Using an iPhone camera doesn't help me either.

    Having said that, the more time I use taking pretty pics, the less time I have to make the car itself look pretty.

    I must say thats impressive, and Dan's work on Bruce's roof as amazing as well. This is implying to the cardomain shots but with a excellent camera you can get rid of all blemishes. Car still needs to be in good condition and shiny.
    I was going to wait till i had all the shots to post up photos of mine but here is an example of good photography making a car seem very clean:



    Even the invisy car bra is un-noticeable.

    Considering thats with an Iphone the roof's colours depth seems infinite

    ZAS that looks amazing there is nothing more satisfying then spending 1 day polishing and waxing a car and seeing a final result like that.

    Very jealous, my cars paint looks like its a flat matt paint because its continously covered in dust. I must check out the local car wash places some time!

    Happy to look at it for you Ben

    Can put some paint protection down so it makes it easier to clean (and keep clean). It's good for people who don't often get a chance to wash/polish/wax their cars because it makes the crud much easier to clean off when you do get around to it
