Default Finally Some Sun To Take Pics In!

Thought I would jump on today's common theme of people posting pics of their clean cars in the sunshine! Found a nice spot 5 min from home for the backdrop too!

Yeah, I was just looking at your pics, very nice. I should have waited until later in the day as bright sunshine is no good for photography. You either get glare or shadow depending on your angle, and I managed to get both lol!

Lol I'm always washing the thing. One of the joys of owning a black car....looks amazing when first washed and polished but drive a few miles and it needs doing again!

Hopefully the sun will stay with us for next weekend and I can have another go (:

Cheers mate! The photos are actually good for highlighting stuff like that! With the rest of the car being so black, the not so black tyres really stand out!

Microfibre cloths, applicator sponges, and wash mitts are something that I seem to have quite a collection of. Those 3 packs of microfibre cloths that you get in pound shops are great.

I had a go at the car today, with an old bottle of 3M Perfect It that I had in the garage. I reckon it's come up well!
