Looks great mate....
I still have problems on taking pictures..It is very hard sometimes to take pictures,because of the lighting mostly...
Don't feel bad about this,i know if you try you will be better....
Do you have any chance to adjust the settings on your camera??

Ok, I'm trying to figure out why my poll's are not working now. LOL

Maybe you hadn't clicked on the "poll" box at the bottom of the initial "new thread" screen?

You probably can't retro-fit a thread into a poll, so maybe it would be better to start a new thread after all candidates have entered and list the poll then (Up to a limit of 10 candidates/poll, apparently).

(Hope that made sense. [-o< )

[rjt65]

so a reminder and summary---Bought the Black on black lexus 350 (fully loaded ;-) --- got car washed --blah swirl marks scratches etc--found lexus board met detaildoc there ya go -- bought flex and others so here ya go

another note these are the good before pix (new d slr camera) showing scratches damn DWG sealants and other good product cover the swirls up well as my 2nd set of before pix will attest--- best way to catch swirls for me is looking at car at angle--i tried to take pix the same way but took pix outside int the sun see nada, inside with lights on again no good but with my flash on there ya go... the last 2 are not showing mucho swirl-scratches first 3 do hood and trunk worst

Note they redid our roads about 6 months and a mixture of cement dust-grit--lime etc got all over every day causing this mess..

Looks great man. You are really getting the hang of it. Just got one suggestion given we have the same car (just different color). Stay away from the yellow pad, way too harsh on that super soft Lexus CC. Stick to the Orange or white for the correction and blue or gray for the final polishing. The SFX 2 with the orange should be more than enough to correct some nasty stuff on that cc and most can probably be done with the white. Other than that, love those crisp, mirror like reflections.
