First HDR attempt

We have a nice day today so I got a bottle of Poorboy's waterless car wash and went to work. Then took some pictures. These were done with a Canon SD400 and no tripod.

I definitely like what I see. When summers comes I'll need to find me some cool spots with more colors to try this again.

great photos/ How do you like the waterless car wash. I was thinking about picking up a bottle to keep in the car.

I love the waterless car wash. Its super nice especially during summer.

I use it whenever the car gets too dusty during summer instead of having to wash it again. Also, after it rains to get it looking super clean again.

However if it rained for few days and there is a a lot of dirt/dust on it, I'll wash the car regular way to avoid scratching the paint.

The only reason I used it today to wash all the salt off is because the car already has mad swirls from the previous owner and I'll be buffing it when spring comes.

If you use it with good judgment and don't scrub hard, it leaves no swirls at all.

A bunch of members he use Poorboy's Spray and Wipe.

Yeah I'm not a fan of those either. I do wish there was more color in the picture, but its winter so thats hard to find now.

+1. I suggest using it tastefully to enhance the picture, not turn it into something overdone, imo.

Thanks guys!

I think my turned out to be pretty subtle. I just wanted them to look nice and "smooth" with more details than regular picture would have.
