A bit of a problem...

I keep going out to take pictures of the MINI and get all these reflections, I just don't know what to do about it. I treid using the NXT spray wax on the hood but I'm afraid it made things worse.

Here's some photos:

The reflections show the quality of your finish - no scratches or wirls. Enjoy!

you can take some steel wool to remove those reflections.

Thanks for the help, I like the NXT, much easier to apply (even though it doesn't smell as nice) shines a little better than the paste, and I haven't found out how well it holds up. Only had enough good microfibers to do the hood, probably take care of the rest tomorrow.

I have the same problem since Zaino-ing my MCSc over the weekend. LOL!

What I really want to know is what is growing out of your hood scoop in that first picture?

Dumb question: you have a polarizer filter?

Yeah but it only fits one of my lenses, the telephoto one, which is of course the most rarely used lens for shooting the MINI.

Then, I guess you should rent a cherry picker!

You can even see the reflections in my sig, and I thought Pearl was dirty then!!

Drew - Nice shine!

Here is one of the wife's car after I clayed it and put a few coats of Zaino last year (man has it been that long)

Looks great, hmmm wonder if I'm going to need to invest in Zaino...

It's nice stuff - A true "System" in the most costly defintion of the word.

Here is one more shot:

I have that annoying reflection problem too!
This is the first car I've owned in 23 years that I actually dryed when I finished washing it instead of just driving it up the road. So this was my first attempt at washing a car properly. I used a mit istead of a sponge, Sonus shampoo, Klass SG, and Macguires (sp) NXT wheel polish to help with the brake dust. Now I need one of those dusting things to keep the driveway dust from collecting on the back of the car.
