Talking I like it wet! Wolfgang and Pinnacle Signature II Action
Raining out so instead of driving, I went ahead and detailed my car-again. It relaxes me, and the wife likes the fact that even when I am PO at something, a few hours in the garage is the best therapy money can buy.

Washed, clayed, washed, Menzerna Super Intensive Polish, sealed w/ Wolfgang, and finished with 3 coats of Pinnacle Signature II with Porter Cable.

Sorry, no outdoor pics due to the weather. These will have to make due for now. Opinions welcome.

Thanks,

Great shots. What camera and settings did you use?. I detect a "sepia" effect in some of the first few pics. Nice job.

Looks like HDR. High Dynamic Range. It can be a little gimmicky these days, but if you do it very subtly you can get proper exposure across a wide dynamic range (scenes with bright highlights and deep shadows.) That's what it was developed for originally (since digital has a more compressed dynamic range than film.)

edit: to the OP: nice job on the car, looks great!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Sort of having torque withdrawals with 6 days of rain and driving around in my Chrysler. Guess I could finish pulling the motor out of my Z32.

Nice job, you must be in NorCal? Been raining here for 8 days and looks like 5 or 6 more.

Screw the car, your garage is EPIC.

Kust kidding brutha, AMAZING job. I also find detailing my rides to be very therapeutic and puts me in the best of moods.

Nice work, where did you get your trunk star emblem?
