Night falls on teh E30

[Jand3rson]

My first attempt at night shots. I thought they came out pretty good. Enjoy.

Nice.

Is the car dirty?

[clavinZERO]

Classy. Wheels look nice josh; I know they have been on for a while, but still. Nice back-drop.

Night? Those are in a lit up parking garage.
Is the last one under a roof opening?

Anyways... car looks awesome! Loving it. :up: :up:

[Jand3rson]

Nice.

Is the car dirty?

Yeah, it's got a couple days worth of dust on it from the roads. Hard to keep the car clean around here in the winter. I do need to wax it again, though.

Yeah... at night.

Yes, the opening in the roof is actually a section cut out of the parking lot above. It's a wing of the hospital, and above is a roundabout for picking up/dropping off patients.

Good stuff.

Still enjoying the stage 3s?

[Jand3rson]

Yep, nothing much new to look at, really. Just some new shots. The next time I take pics won't be until after several aesthetic mods are completed. It will look quite different.

No, that thing needs a good clay bar and Porter Cable polish job. Then wax.

I don't have the tools for that, or know how to do it. I do the best I can.

Take a look at the pinned thread in show and shine on bf.c, theres a guy who has covered everything you could possibly ever think of in regard to detailing.

The PC buffer is random orbital so there is really no risk of burning through or anything like that.. if thats what is worrying you.

your car is looking good... are those the knock-off recaros?

[Digitalwave]

I like the compositions of the first and third ones a lot.

My car was just as dirty as Josh's in the last pics I posted, but you can't tell :p

I think a lot of what makes the paint look like it does is the flourescent lighting on the black paint. Flourescent light is always going to highlight ever possible flaw in a shiny surface, especially a black one. In straight daylight, the paint doesn't look nearly that haggard. But in a couple of weeks, I'm doing a full-scale detail of the paint. RCWells is letting me borrow his orbital, and I'm doing a clay bar-polish-wax job on it. I'll be sure to get some pics when I'm done.
