You will have framing issues, especially if you don't have the car all to yourself (ie. a car show) using 50mm * 1.5 = 75mm Clarity and bokeh are worthless if you can't compose your shot correctly. If you have a zoom type lense now, bring it to 50mm and go around your car and see how far back...

So, I got around to washing the car today. I couldn't let that dust sit on it any longer. My wife decided she wanted a picture of it, as I had her around to hand me things and help out a bit. She thought it was all hysterical.

I'd go with the 35mm lens since you have a 1.5x crop factor on that camera. That will get you closest to natural viewing distance (about 53mm). That should be a really good lens for you. Outside of that, I'd get something that gives you a wide angle, as I find that best for automotive...

Welcome to the GTI club! Hope you received yours in better paint condition than I did mine. The dealership really jacked my paint job up pretty bad. What color and model did you get? As to polishing by hand, you're not likely to be able to correct much of any problems without a polisher. The...

Okay, sweet. Thanks guys. I think I'll give this a go as it is then. Really appreciate it.

Have a lot of time on my hands with the foot injury to go over my supplies and try to fill out my line up, and I got thinking: Would love to be able to use a 3" Backing plate and 3"/3.5" inch pad on my PC 7424XP. I'd like to know if this can confidently be used safely. I notice the page talks...

Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel

I want to wash my car so bad. It's go baseball field dust all over it. I don't want to leave it like that for 6+ weeks. Where there's a will, there's a way.

More than pain, it's still like I have a wobbly fragile ankle in a cast right now, littlest movements and it still pops a bit. Otherwise, the other bummer about this being summer is my leg is so freaking hot with this cast on. Have the AC on as normal, but then our ceiling fans on fastest level...

If I decide to play again one day, definitely sticking to the infield. I was happy at first base, but just wanted to move around a bit more. Now I can't move around much at all for a while, lol. #### happens. Had some fun in the weeks I did play. My brother-in-law works at the rec center and...

I think 6 weeks after my next surgery (in two weeks, give or take), the ortho thought I'd get a walking boot and be able to do some light walking on it. That's not too horrible, just disappointing that this happened. Playing softball for a rec center league.....ugh

Heh. I have ulcerative colitis. I have plenty of those around for various scope exams and general well being. Got a little sick this morning from the drug they gave me at the hospital. Probably both that and the pain creeping back. My percocet just arrived though.

There is a picture below of the ankle. It's not horrible, just looks like it was put on wrong. But I give warning if you really don't like this stuff. sorry if anything is repeated or loopy sounding. On drugs, but wearing off. Normally play first base. Had to cover left field since one of...

Alright, figured as much. I just need a better tool for the job, need one of those small polishers for both that area and around many of the lines on these cars.

What did you use on the plastics from those first 2 pictures? I'm in a '12 GTI and mine are basically in the same condition since day 1. I need to fix that up.

A few from different trips:

What you need to do is post some pictures. Am I right, or am I right?

Thanks everyone. With that massive glob of paint, I figured I had to take shots of pretty much everything I did. If it went wrong, I wanted to know what I needed to correct in my technique. But I always like before and after shots so either way it's a win win. Will update further when I...

Yeah, I was at a event Saturday that had a little car show going on along with it. Mostly classics and muscle cars and some custom roadsters, but very few of them had anything close to swirl free paint. Some looked awful, especially around the front fenders. I would have liked to stay and see...

I think when I decide to work on it again, if I can manage to get the paint pen to put down a very light coat, it should be able to buff to a level surface and make it invisible to even myself.
