Got shine?

Here's a few pics from a photo shoot I did a couple weeks ago. The photographer said he's never seen a car with that kind of shine before . People know I'm a little crazy with the way I treat my car but to capture pics like these it pays off. I had used P21s and wiped down with Z8. The car was polished earlier in the season with Menzerna SIP and sealed with UPGP and Danase Wet Glaze. Engine is kept clean with Mothers Aluminum Polish. I've tried some other "higher end" brands but I keep coming back to mothers.

Wow, looks great! Glad to see someone using the term photo shoot correctly rather than just snapping pics in a driveway or something.

Yup I was there, which one were you? A handful of us drove out to Columbus a few weeks ago and did HIN with you guys.

Yup, I totally remember you from Columbus. You were next to our red sedan and I think you had a woman helping prep your car when we first got there that morning if I remember correctly.

Yep, that would be the G/f. She cleans my wheels for me. But anyway, great pics, I have it as a background at work and several people have commented on it. I need to find a spot here and take some pics like these. Keep it up!

OP, where did you get your grill? Did you install it yourself?

BTW, very nice!
