LOL that's coz you have a white car, bro. White is very unkind to hours of wax job. But I am sure you did an awesome job. Try to get the shadow of the trees or sunlight to bounce off your paint to show off that shine!

They look good to me
I do notice that you were in a shady area, not much sunlight

Don't know the time zone difference, but weren't you suppose to be watching Family Guy around that time?

I think the shine is fine, but can you really see the shine on a white car?

Try to get more refelction and more light.

I see in your sig it says 20's... Are those really 20's in the pic? They look small for some reason

ok you guys caught me i did watch family guy ( 7+hrs - 30mins = 61/2+hrs)

yeah i took a lot of pix with different angles but the sunlight just bounces off too much; u cant see any shine and you get a lot of sun in your eyes

yeah they are i guess its because of the lip? lip usually gives off the impression of smaller wheels.

catching a nice wax job in photo on white is hard but seeing it in person is priceless, we have a couple members cars here who waxed the hell out of them for our meets and man white in the sun is just great looking..congrats man

very nice. me and my wife we spent the other weekend, sat, from 9am to 12 midnight to fully detail and polish the gs400. it was just amazing, we didn't even get to clean the wheels. it's just purely amazing work, so tiring...

but the car looks amazing now, so i can totally understnd your satisfction

and i have to agree, the shine on white is one of the hardest to see

car looks great. Getting ready to wax my 99 white 400 as soon as i have a day off from work... Just bought the pinnicle wax kit so I'm ready to go... Can't wait to spend some time on the car.. Your car turned out really great considering the white exterior... I don't have to much experience with the white but can't wait to see the finish product....Thanks tony

edit: oh and clay bar is a must!
