Kj,

Nah.... You just airbrushed your boat (boat=boat race=Face) onto the hood!.

Very, very nice.


I do think that you have two advantages however. 1. Blue reflects better than red, and 2. The sun is higher for you, giving better reflective properties.

Was than really bitchy???

The one with my reflection is using Meguiar's Step 1-3. The other hood shot is using Gold Class.

On that pic I hadn't use any wax yet, just the 3M polishing products, after water sanding the paint.
