Actually I am more trying to prove a point than I am trying to tease.

This was a shot of the car prior to any correction work .. It just shows how you can take a picture of anything and make it look good.

you can take a shot that looks like this:




when a shot of the same hood, in the sun, actually looks like this:






you can see where the hood is swirled, has a few water spots on it, and also is in need of claying.

next post has the afters.

By the time I got done, it was late in the day, and taking pics directly in the sun was difficult. I made the mistake of letting the guy leave with the car before I looked at the pics, because I thought I had grabbed a couple of good sun shots. I was wrong .. they looked good through the viewfinder, but I didn't capture what I thought I did.

Here are my two sun pic attempts:





I did manage to capture some pretty cool cloud reflections .. not much for showing correction, but I think it looks cool ..

here is my favorite shot. again it shows little in the way of correction, but I think it is a pretty cool pic.





I used a my Dewalt and SIP and 106 for the correction, and my G100 and #21 and Chemical Guys 50/50 for the protection/gloss.
