Autofocus is your enemy.... The sensor will pick an object to focus on that is in a reflection, so you don't see the surface in perfect focus.

Many people do this on the detail forums (some on purpose) to make it look like a full correction, when they really didn't get everything. Not saying you are doing that, but some do.

Here's a tip to make that camera work a little better for you. If you're taking a pic of lets say the fender/hood....get the camera to focus on the panel gap. It gives the sensor an "edge" to "grab" onto and focus properly. Practice that whenever you take a pic. Give the sensor something to grab onto....a wiper blade, an emblem, a mirror edge, etc... Your pics will be way better.

Btw, that thing was thrashed before. Nice turnaround.

I didn't think you were trying to play games. Just trying to help you get the most out of your camera before you go out and spend $ on a new one.
