Default 2007 IOP S2K

I hadn't washed my car since I bought it and it wasn't very dirty but I kept finding places where the dealership didn't do a good job in removing the residue from the packing film that was on the car during delivery. I tried to be creative with the reflection shots but I am not the best photographer. Oh well, here goes....

Here is a reflection shot of the products I used for the wash & wax: Meguiars Car Wash soap, 2 bucket method, Meguiar's Clay Bar & Quik Detailer, Meguiar's Carnuba Wax, Invisible Glass, 303 & Raggtopp Cleaner & Protectant


Hood shot showing my house:



Door shot with me in the reflection(see the poster on the wall?):



Reflection of my daughter & my puppy:


Sky, you can also see the 3M clear bra in this shot but not in the other hood shots:


Door:


I put the boot on the car for the first time too, it took a little bit of work, but finally got it on. I don't think I will be using it very much because it was kind of a PITA to install.

I see your trunk spoiler is a little off to the right!

Hi Tim,
I think that is just the picture playing tricks on our eyes. I went and measured it and it is 1/8" from either edge of the trunk. I think what you are seeing is the reflection from the white shelf on the wall.
