whoaaa buddy be easy with that "professional highspeed buffer"... you will quickly come to realize that buffing a car, especially a dark one, is somewhat of an art form. done incorrectly you can do damage to your cars clear coat that only a true professional will be able to undo... it takes years to perfect the use of a buffer wheel along with the right compounds and polishes to get the job done properly.. swirls, scratches, etc are a nightmare with dark paint and you CAN make them worse winging it on your own with no previous experience.. the best advice i can give you is to have someone who knows what they are doing right along side you while you try this, atleast for the first few times.

Remember keep the subject within the frame, some parts of the car is barely cut off. And take that thing from the rear view mirror off.

Nighttime shooting tip with lights on; do a long exposure w/ a tripod, release shutter via remote, and only turn on lights for like a 1/2 second. My 2 cents.


love this shot, sexiest angle of a GS IMO.

So true!! Without lots and lots of experience with a buffer you WILL damage your paint no matter how careful you are.

Got some good pics, there. Need to watch the white balance on those really red pics, unless, of course, that's the effect he was going for.
