    You'll get a lot of mileage out of the 18-55 on the 3200. That's a very nice setup that will get you great photos. I know you like HDR... but you dont usually use it the way it was intended (to counteract a high contrast scene without filters). Maybe try out some other methods of HDR that are...

    bird crap on Lexus

    So what do you do about Type 2 short of repainting? We have a 1998 civic that is an outdoor vehicle and the hood is primarily etching and a little smooth surface. :)

    Stinky Package.

    I will confirm that TRIX is not for kids but smells like the underside of a sweaty donkey.

    Flu Shot?

    I have intended to but haven't got around to it. I'm a skeptic at heart and I don't have a problem with the flu shot. Some things to keep in mind with the anecdotal reports of people getting sick after getting the shot: They probably were already infected if they got sick within a day. A...

    FYI to the people reading this thread... ONR Wash & Wax is on sale for 12.12 for two more hours. 12/12/12 Sale I mention it simply because it was a great deal and got me to order the product. I expect I'll be using it as the go-to maintenance wash every couple weeks when it's not really...

    Anyone using Chemical Guys All Clean+ Citrus APC?

    Saw this pop up recently and thought it might be an interesting and inexpensive APC to try out. I'm just a hobbyist and don't need a gallon of APC for my projects. And this dilutes at 10 or 20:1. Would like some feedback if you're using it! Chemical Guys All Clean+ Citrus Based APC...

    Wheel Cleaning

    I've been wondering about wheel maintenance cleaning products. Say I've already done my massive deep clean and put on a layer of sealant and want to do weekly maintenance cleaning... are the pH neutral reactives a good choice? Is just car wash soap the answer?

    Cut My Prices for a Rare Vehicle?

    I keep coming back to this thread and thinking two things: 1. Portfolio work is often done for free. You are the ultimate customer receiving the goods in this scenario. Sure he gets a shiny car out of the deal, but your intent is to have pictures of it. 2. Wouldn't you want to charge more...

    Speedy Prep Towel Torture Test

    I was rinsing it fairly often. Maybe every couple section passes on really bad spots. Maybe every section pass on average surfaces. Maybe not at all for windows. And a bucket woudl be fine but remember it's a towel with rubber on it and will get soggy if that bothers you. I turned the hose...
