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).

Finally got the courage to post my car. 2006 Lexus RX400h (Hybrid) Color: Neptune Blue Mica (Metallic Navy Blue) Process: Wash with ONR, 2bucket process Cleaned w/ P21S Cleansing Lotion Topped w/ CG Pete's 53 Ok, I didn't mean for the flab to show up!:hairpull

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...

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...

Carpets --- 303 Spot remover Leather --- Lexol Conditioner and Cleaner Brake Dust --- P21S Wheel Gel Cleaner (I have PB S&W, but never thought to use it on teh brake dust)

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

showoff...:D j/k oh btw, dengood1, if your lens has IS (image stabilization), don't forget to turn it off when using a tripod.

Here's a link to another thread on moon pics and settings: Great but simple moon pics. - How To - PopPhoto

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...

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

Good luck! You might want to check out the forums at popphoto.com. They helped me alot just like how autogeekonline.com has helped in detailing.

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...

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.

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.

Very nice turn around! What products and steps were used?

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...

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.

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.

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...
