btw, i find it very hard to wash my car in this dry weather. the water drys wayyyyy to quickly for me to get a detailed clean...do u guys ever find somewhere enclosed to wash ur cars. i want to claybar mine because i have various white specs on it from something, i also have hard water spots that need to be taken care of. maybe the best time to wash the car is after it rains, for the humidity???

Great pictures Anthony! In the last picture though, the tires look to pale.. Maybe try darkening that part?! I can see you took your pictures on the South Pointe parking garage, right?! Jordan, thinks it's on the Green Valley Ranch parking garage..

Your problem is that you dry your car too slow.. HEHEH JK! But, I usually wash and dry my car under the shade. I've never used a clay bar, but i might get one here soon and try it out.

it was actually done w/the camera itself on sport mode which captures the subject and blurs the background. thats why the wheels are spinning and have a blur on them too. in photoshop the wind tool is too strong to capture this effect. you just gotta be good w/the camera .

another example:

we should have a claybar day =P but no seriously...we should find a day with some cloud cover and do a serious detail/wash day with 4+ ppl working on 1 car at once we could easily get everyones car detailed in like 2 hours

What kind of a drink is Halo 3?? Is that a little Atari mixed with PlayStation? Get something planned guys. I need something to come back to from vacation, BBQ at Mikes, trip to Lee Canyon or Mt. Charleston Lodge or just a good meet.

Mike, hows the premix working. Have you noticed any improvements in performance or mileage yet?
