    I did this for a client to show just how much work and how cool the process actually is. I'm big into photography so I though, why not combine the two? Let me know what you guys think. The customer loved it.

    Part 1 - Electric Pw Rinse, Foam Cannon, Hand Wash, Riccaro Clay & Cali Water Blade + Airblaster No touch dry.

    Part 2 - Testing out polish spots & Reading out depth.

    Part 3 - Finally cracked the code, Breaking into the paint, Removing waterspots.

    Look like it had auto tilt or the camera got drunk as it just leaned back.

    Totally stealing this idea from you. Would be a great way to show off my process and the work involved, without the need for all the fancy video work some people have had lately.

    LOL, Yea, duct tape doesn't hold as well as you think it would. My tripod was an old 7 foot ladder with duct tape. Worked pretty good fort he most part...

    This was shot in 1080P with my Iphone 4S using an app called "Ilapse"

    Great Idea buddy, I kind of had the same idea but I hate hardcore photography (just to complicated) so I stopped doing it but here's a few I made. I guess I use a lowers FPS then you, also I upload directly from my 4S, don't insert any music

    ...and the list goes on but if you really want do this, get the gorilla pad

    It literally hooks on to anything, for that BRZ I hooked it on the client's basket ball poll.

    Here is my phone hooked on the customers side mirror
