The Toad Test


I have found a new way to check my Mini's wax-job shinyness. I found a toad in the back yard yesterday and put him on Foamy's hood, then snapped a bunch of photos with my Rebel XTi. His reflection turned out pretty good.

I've got a big Amigo/Epic detailing frenzy coming up later this month, and will have to run another test then.

Too cool! (but in my head I'm thinking "Why would he put a toad on his new shiny bonnet???)

Nice shot.

Looks like you even got his sneeze droplets.

I was wondering if there has been any testing with frogs or lizards. I don't want to give my Matilda warts.
