    Love the flake; love the wheels. I agree with the others, the car is too busy. I realize you don't own it.

    I'm with richy, love the paint and the wheels, but the rest I could do without. That being said great turnaround! :mounty:

    That is pretty incredible, some paints really respond well to a thorough polishing and you did just that for this car. I always enjoy seeing how nicely you tape the car as well haha, good job on the detail.

    nice job on the car man! what the hell kind of camera are you using to get those Macro shots? Those are some sick photo's. I wish i could figure out how to get shots that close up with my Nikon D60 . . . . would prob. need a good lens for that.

    Thanks guys. It's always nice to receive such comments from detailing pros. :headbang:
    Hehehehe you need two things:
    1) Stay in manual focus, otherwise it'll try to focus on other areas (reflected stuff, etc)
    2) Ideally a good quality lense, in this case it's a 50mm F1.4

    This is a Pentax K-x, but you can also do it w/ your D60. :afro:
