650S looks great.

Stupid phone died in the middle of transfer, a few of the first ones that transferred:


















Still can not get over the Veyron and 288 GTO. Once you see them in person............. You are literally in shock.. Jaguar XKRS GT was pretty cool as well.

I put some up on IG but i'll post a link to my album here.

I saw you asking what i shoot with...

Nikon D800, using my old kit lens 18-70mm. Occasionally use my 11-17mm Tokina fisheye.
I shoot a lot but not normally cars.

Me?
I was 2 rows of the parking lot away from the McLaren and right across from Midatlantic GTR club (or whatever they are called)
The rally cars were on the other side of the lot.

The whole thing was organized by type of car OR car club. (national G club, GTR club, Porsche owner, etc) for show cars.

So I spent several hours compounding and polishing my car and it's amazing what a dual action polisher can do. I didn't even know the paint had those little blue flecks in it. Finished it off with some wax and the paint looks and feels like glass. no more horrible swirly marks.

Ugh you're making me jealous. I really want to do that one weekend with my car, but I have to study for organic chem for now

I'm going to get a chance after the semester ends though. Get some shots up man. Shoulda done a before and after thing.

a wax is a natural product found in nature
while a sealant is synthetic and man made.

a wax will wear off faster than a sealant.
when water doesnt bead as tightly any more, its time to re-apply wax.


I use 4starUPP
