I wish I could have caught you on the roof of the car port for the first shot!

I like the extra "wheel-on-the-door" in the second shot.

I like taking those overhead shots. The "wheel" shot was to show how deep the reflection is. Nothing like having deep clear reflections

Its obvious that you did a great job but I dont think the camera really does justice to your work. Even for an overcast day the pics look grainy.

Brand new camera

Guess we haven't figured out the settings yet

Nice job, babe

Yeah, I'm a detailer, taking photos is way down on my list of things I do well

But thanks for the compliment on the detailing

At least they are not shots of my foot

I say "Job well done!" The white "holies" look great. The pics look great also. Ignore the negative comment. There's always someone...

Sorry, my comment was not meant to be negative. I tried really hard to make sure it wasnt. I wasnt trying to criticize, just trying to give an helpful suggestion.

No worries, I was not offended

The new camera is taking some time to get used to.

Those white holies get me more compliments than the whole rest of the car. They are a bit of work to keep looking good. They are also starting to show their age, rock chips, some staining, pitting. Probably going to need new tires soon, so the plan is to get them repainted(powder coated maybe???) before the new rubber goes on.

Yesterday we detailed our outdoor dining table, it lives 24/7 out on the deck.
Sanded it down with my new PC, RO sander

Then applied a spar urethane, going to give it a second coat today, possible 3rd coat tomorrow.

Hey, Mark... I was not around when you posted your detailing pics. Nice work, as usual !

I also love the shot you took with the white holies reflection in the door of the clubman. Sweet.

Not sure which you do better, detail MINIs or detail patio tables.

**lotsie** · #15 05-04-2009, 10:20 AM

Actually, Lois did most of the work on the table, I just gave directions

Oh, and had a few beers while giving her pointers on proper sanding techniques
