Reflections with light colored paint.

[Desertdawg]

It sure is hard to get some good reflection pictures like you guys get with your dark colored paints. I gave it another try the other day. What do you think?

[Vandelete]

well it looks very nice and wet..

altough you don't have an dark coloured car it has nice reflections anyway... any special steps taken for getting those results?

[fiberrich]

Wow! That looks awesome!!!

Nice wet look and super reflection for a light color paint.

Really, really nice car! Love the license plate!

What steps/products did you use to get those kind of results?

Hi Desertdawg

Your reflection is AWESOME.
one of the reason it's not so easy to get a good reflection with a light color is because it's a "light color"....Well it would be like using a flash light in the day light kind a thing light back ground with a light reflection will tend to wash each other out. Try parking it under a canopy and shot your reflection shot the down fall would be the shade will change the appearance/ color of your car.

While I have never used anything other than hand application on my vette, a few surface flaws may soon change that.

I haven't clayed since last year, but I try to do the following about every other month. More often if needed.

After a good bath, I apply mirror glaze hand polish, & yellow #26,
I also use Final Detail for touch ups in between total cleanings.

As for the picture reflections. I have taken quite a few in the shadows, and the results are killer. But it is hard to show there are no swirls or other imperfections marring the surface without the sun's reflection...

I can do reflective pictures all day long in the shade. But to me they still don't compare to the ones you guys get in the bright sunlight.

Very, very nice...what do you think of these?

[Desertdawg]

Very nice Don, I like the last one with the bright ground reflecting back off of your rocker panels...
