Waxing my white car with DODO Juice Blue Velvet tonight

Jrocket maybe it's the combination of cloudy day and white car but I really couldn't see an appearance difference. I thought it would be difficult to tell a difference in the panels anyway but I think you are going to need a clear bright sunny day for it to be a fair test.

You are right sir.

I was bummed when I got up and it was so overcast.. However there is a lil sun peaking through now and I now going to try and snap 1 or 2 more while there is some sun shining.

But yeah I didnt think i would notice huge differences being a white car.

thats why im ready to trade my fiances gold infiniti g35 in on a royal blue mini cooper countryman!! I love my car but white is so boring.. but for some reason we were hell bent on purchasing a white car this round.. prob because I spent so much time with my black Jeep... and I dont think she's putting two and two together with the dark blue she has picked for her Mini.. ha I'm stoked

I'll prob spend more time really getting down with that car and all my product arsenal.


I do have some pics im going to upload shortly from my Menzrna powerlock and light fantastic with V7 combo in the sun.. those pics really show the pop from the white pearl.

So stay tuned
 
I do think it looks good and clean though and still says its been prepped with far more than just a standard wash and dry
 
Do you have a good artificial light source to show off the metallic flake difference ?

I have a dual fluorescent light fixture that is plug that isnt currently mounted with 2 T8 32 watt 5k 4 ft bulbs

I could use that I suppose.


Im now about to post some other pics from when I did Menzerna Sealant light fantastic and V7

the second set of pics are from today when the sun peeked out for a few min..


Pics to follow
 
just a request can you use photobucket to host your pictures as opposed to using the site uploading feature, pet peeve of mine lol
 
Menzerna Power lock, light fantastic and V7

How do I do that SON1C?

Because I can't seem to post the best 3 pics showing off the paint.. its like they wont upload now



Edit.. I created a photobucket acct and have loaded my pics in there but how do I host them on here through photobucket?

the issue is that you're grabbing the wrong code, you need to grab the code that has "img" tagged on both ends, I quoted your bigger post and swapped your url for img

lol thanks man :dblthumb2: its a love hate thing, awesome to have and enjoy them, but I just wonder if I'll ever be able to reach the bottom of these jars, hence why I have so many panel pots trying to stack the chips in my favor lol, even those are hard to deplete, the fridge is fun because I wasn't using it anyway and I like to believe its air tight when closed, thus extending the lives of the lsp within

I think it looks great and alot of time has been put in .. but after completely falling in love with detailing I see that I clearly chose the wrong color..

hmmm maybe I should trade in and pick a color I can enjoy an appreciate more
 
Jrocket don't beat yourself up over e color. Your work looks great. White is a very desirable color when it comes to resale. Your has a lot of metal flake in it. That's a good thing. Black is tough to take care of for a daily driver.
