Quick detail yesterday

[Rocky]

Not a true detail, but I washed 2x with dawn to get rid of the probably 12 coats of wax on the car, used the dawn on the wheels which removed some really badly caked on dust that normal auto soap didnt get rid of, clayed the whole car, then waxed with NXT. Overall I was impressed, the car with no wax was shinier than it was with my last few coats of wax on it....

I MSPAINTed a drop onto the pics for my own satisfaction, but alas, here they are.

focus ownz joo.

[Rocky]

Not only focus, but noise too.... grainy as fawk if you look any closer than that.

[Mr Grey]

Not bad...time to get some S100. The NXT looks good, I have tried it in the past few months, but it doesn't feel like it lasts long enough.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

you don't have to look close to see the noise.

[Rocky]

alright dave i toned down the ISO, used manual focus, and figured out how to use exposure compensation.... hosting right now.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

teach me please. It take me too long to set up the tripod and all the settings to even try taking pics. I think I need a point and shoot.

You going to be at busse sunday? I can try and show you whats up then... I'm still a noob by far, but I at least understand what all the stuff does now.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

brightness ownz joo.

I'll be there. I know what it does cause when I adjust the stuff it actually shows the changes in real time. too time consuming, and the camera is in NJ.

[Rocky]

oo cool. mine is realtime too, very useful.

and brightness was a problem because i had the sun directly on part of the car, and the shade right next to it.... shut up! I'm trying so hard and all you ever do is put me down :cry: lol

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

[Kowalski]

Looks like you got a fatty in the back

[Rocky]

lol i know...all i did was select the car (not the wheels) and drag it down a lot.

[PrinzII]

Not bad...time to get some S100. The NXT looks good, I have tried it in the past few months, but it doesn't feel like it lasts long enough.

Correct, Hector. NXT has a decent shine but its durability is much shorter than that of ANY decent carnauba wax.

Speaking of which, I now have some Natty's paste wax and P21S to play with.

[kkozy1982]

mmm... your car's pretty... minus the rims... they look better than mine for sure but... still.

[Rocky]

I'm still hunting for a decent rim deal, but dont have the money for it right now. Even if I did, 800-1500 dollars is better spent elsewhere for me, computer, college, etc.
