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?

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.Rich

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.
