    Evenin',

    This lovely M3 belongs to a good friend of mine. Came over the house today, and I showed him how to wash and wax it properly. It was also an opportune moment to try out my newly acquire Swissvax Saphir. Absolutely lovely wax.

    As it was just a wash 'n wax, I thought we'd get a bit more creative with the photos.

    Enjoy.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words, it's much appreciated. I really need to upgrade my camera as I'm being limited by it at this point. The camera is a Rebel XT and the photos were taken with the kit 18-55 lens. It was on a tripod with a remote release trigger to avoid any shake.

    The lighting used was actually the security lights on my garage, but it gave a nice gloomy effect with the shutter open at about 5 seconds, but keeping the ISO at 100 (I think, maybe it was 200?).

    Slanguage, it's a lovely wax, thank you!

    And Carn, yes, I do need to clean the sensor, hah.

    Time to get that 50D!!!
