We had just got done detailing our cars, so we decided to go out and snap some shots of the results. We washed the cars with Dawn dishwashing soap, then dried them with Absorbers. After we dried them, we used Mother's clay bars to clay the cars. The next step was polish, and for this step, we used Meguilar's Step 2 polish. The cars were finished off with Meguilar's NXT Tech Wax. I think the end result speaks for itself.

The '01 Honda Accord:

One random shot:


Thanks for looking!

EDIT: Camera used:

pretty nice pictures, you work that camera well.

great job, and amazing pictures! That camera must be awesome!!


Serious, that one of the hood looks like a marketing photo, quite impressive.

you forgot to do my car.. nice pics...great job

YO WHAT KIND OF CAMERA R U USING...AND WHEN U WAX UR CAR r u using a machine..or straight polish to cloth..rub and wipe...

Tell your 4x4 friend he needs to drop that sum beech.

The pics look great as usual. That spider pic is pretty rad too.

Thanks, guys. I apply and remove the products by hand. My cousin with the 4x4 Maxima is looking for some lowering springs (H&R or Maxspeed) at the present time. If any of you have some for sale, let me know. He has only been driving for a week! Those are my old Falken wheels on his car. The Accord has my old ADR's from my other car. The car is coming along nicely IMO. He has a set of sideskirts from a '02 that he will be putting on shortly.

thats one hell of a camera man. how much is that thing? i wouldnt be surprised if its over $500

OMG those cars are clean as hell in every way nice job

Nice detail!!!

I got it for $650, including the kit lens. You can find that camera on the internet for around $800. The lens on the camera now is a much better lens than the kit lens. The money really is not in the cameras, but in the lenses. I bought the lens for $150, but it retails for around $250. The best Canon lenses range from $700 to around $5000. That will be my next upgrade.

Sweet shots. You could start a business taking shots for everyone's Max.

Incredible pictures, im still putting stuff on ebay with a 1 megapixel HP camera lol. The side shot of the 1st max is my favorite....looks like it came from the brochure.

hey wuussssup, i have never done night shots, and have never took time to learn the different settings. The current camera I use is the Canon EOS 20d paired up with the Canon 100-400mm telephoto lens. and the speedlight 550ex when needed, what are some basic settings you use at night?

Incredible results and pictures. I just recently began getting into taking photos as a hobby. I bought the Sony DCS - T1 because I found it for about $300 over the Memorial Day weekend. It isn't very practical for the kind of pictures I would like to be taking, but at the moment I needed something highly portable, had decent features, and was decent on the quality.

Sorry if I got a little OT.

Wow....those are amazing....those are beautful pics....come to Salt Lake and take some pics of my car

Mass Media I looked at your cardomain site. I noticed you are in SLC and started a club called M.O.B Style....Im just curious what your M.O.B. stands for or if it somelike the mafia or something...I have M.O.B for part of my plate number

are you using anything to protect your paint? ie clear bra?

that paint looks wicked.

I got in an accident in December, and I just got a new OEM bumper and painted it. There are no chips on the bumper so far. Knock on wood.

Very nice pics.....I especially like the pic in your sig. It looks fuking sweet!!!

well at first it was MOB Style.....because my friend had his cadillac...then he sold it....so now it's Money Over B!tches (M.O.B Style) so yea...I think I have raced you on state a couple times....Long a$$ time ago....

We are still trying to get the club together...but it isn't going as good as it was....so....more like our little saying now than an accual car club....I have seen you before....

dude thats hot, the reflection in the glass doors is a really nice pic.

Yea thats what my MOB on my plate stands for Money Over *****es..I get some weird looks ...I think I remember seeing you on state we were with some doushbag in a sh!tty mustang if I remember correctly.

Sorry its Money Over B!tches...I didnt know it would automatically edit that word for me ....

Yea...aka **** STICK.....god that was so funny....anyway....see you around....

WTF, thats amazing, makes me want to go work on the car right now. I dont understand why you used dawn first, was it to strip the previous wax? If yes, how important is it do do so?

the accord looks nice, too bad that was only available in automatic

The Canon 20D is my dream camera. That camera surpasses my 300D in every way. I am looking to buy one after I get some headers. The settings at night are as follows:

I used full manual with manual focus because it was too dark to auto focus. The settings varied slightly due to different lighting conditions at the different locations during the shoot. I used an aperture of f8.0 (sweet spot of the lens) at 28mm X 1.6 multiplying factor due to a non-digital SLR lens on a dSLR. The ISO was set at 100, which has the least amount of distortion and graininess. The shutter speed varied from 8 seconds (for the best-lit areas) to a full 30 seconds ( for the low-lit areas, which most of the pictures were taken in). I like long shutter speeds for these kinds of shots, because it allows for a deep depth-of-field, in order to get all the buildings in the background in the shot clearly. I set the white balance on auto white balance, because there were too many different light temperatures available during the shoot.

I'm speechless!!! Those pictures are phenomenal...they should be in a car brochure! I want a new camera now and I want to find a spot to take some cool night shots. I love the rims on that grey 5th gen...very hot.
