Default Detail/pics 2000 Porsche Carrera 56k beware

The owner is putting his car in storage....before it gets nice outside. The car has been sitting under a carport for sometime. It was covered in dust inside/outside of the car. I didn't do a full out detail. The car had a lot of scratches from the automatic carwash. DO NOT put your car through an automatic carwash that uses brushes on your car, it'll scratch it to hell. well enjoy, tell me what you think. The pictures are a before and after and than messing around with the camara. The camara is a Canon PowerShot A 530.

Before:




After buffing and first wax:


Wash and 2nd coat of wax/finish product:






Time to mess with camara settings:

Quoted for Truth.

What an idiot to take a nice Porsche through an automated carwash .

They have a 1995 Jaguar that I got to clean this week also, its also covered in dust, damn Oklahoma wind. They have a car cover in the trunk, I dont think they ever used it, aleast this time its going to be stored in a shop with a cover. We also hooked up a battery charger to it so it'll stay charge b/c they dont ever drive it, car only has 32,000 miles.

Hey what camera setting did you use in that last pic? That "lighting" effect is freakin' awesome... hard to describe...it's kinda like... "magazine" or car broshure quality?
