    1st time posting pics: Lexus RX400h

    Thanks, That's a "safety check" sticker that's required in Hawaii. Self-explanatory, we take it to a certified station and get checked to make sure all basic functions are working properly (blinkers, lights, horn, tires inflated properly, etc).

    Playing with my new Nikon D40

    Congrats on the new setup! What setting did you have it on? No use getting a DSLR if you're not using the different settings. I'd start with P and slowly move into the other settings. You'll see the differences after alot of trial & error. Good thing is that you won't waste film! Get a...

    Sealants

    If given only those 4 options, I would say Wolfgang. I've used WG, PB, and Zaino, and found that Zaino lasts the longest, but it wasn't on your list. I like the look of WG over Zaino. Have heard good things about Klasse too though. Another one that wasn't on your list was Duragloss. Lot of...

    Craziest thing you have detailed

    Split AC condenser. Used CG Glaze+Polish. Although it didn't make it cooler or drop my electric bill, it looked awesome.

    What Camera do you use?

    Here's a clip from a popphoto forum. This was a reply by a member, not me. (just to get the disclaimer in there.) ;) I've used this simple rule and adjust or bracket accordingly using the preview after the shot. Hi there. My friend Scott Kelby who is the president of the National Asociation...

    What Camera do you use?

    I think we're all missing the issue. He's not looking for a camera to match existing lenses. He has no lenses, which means he can buy any camera, then fit lenses to the camera later, if needed. The camera kit will already come with 2 kit lenses, normal and telephoto. The will also have the...

    Here's an article from Popular Photography regarding that. Like I said, I'm not a Nikon expert, I have a Canon, but the article answers your question. New Whirled Order

    What Camera do you use?

    D40 has been replaced with the D50. Older model, probably trying to unload their stock and make room for the new models. I got my Rebel (6MP, not XT) the same way, on clearance at Sears for $300! With DSLRs, you want to invest in good lenses. You can always upgrade the body and use the same...

    What Camera do you use?

    Still got mine too. Can't see much difference between the current "entry level" to upgrade to the xti. Don't think I'm good enough to justify the jump to the pro level 30D though.

    What Camera do you use?

    Haven't used the D40, but heard its a very nice camera. I think Best Buy actually has a kit w/ lens on sale for 749.00. I'm a Canon guy myself, but its like Chevys and Fords. Both good, depends who you ask.

    07 Camry V6 Metallic Gray

    If you plan to maintain it yourself and get into the pc, pads, different polishes, etc, go for it! If not, hire a pro detailer to work the blemish out, clay and clean it up for you, then products like Zaino to maintain it. That's what I did for all my new cars, until I got the itch to try it...

    Just ordered some Souveran Paste Wax, quick question about 1st time application

    A sealant and wax will enhance any surface. So, if you have a well prepped surface, it'll enhance it and make it look even better. Likewise, if you have a poorly prepped surface, it will look twice as ugly. Prep work is the key to any detail.

    Zaino...the best/easiest?

    Funny you say that...way back when. :p In Hawaii, we STILL have a local distributor and HAVE TO drive over to his house and pick some up. If you go to the Zaino site, they tell you that Hawaii residents need to contact the local distributor.

    Zaino...the best/easiest?

    Not experienced enough to compare it to a particular product. But, I do know that Zaino will give you a "plastic" look. Very clean, shiny, nice, plastic look. If you're looking for wet, deep, glossy, you could top with carnauba (I've used LS, 5050, and they look great). Otherwise, keep using...
