Meguiar's 3-step process = pictures!
Well me and a friend decided to 3-step prcoess our cars since the cars really needed some TLC. I took off the roof rack and decided to go ahead and just do it...But by the time we finished it got really dark but the cars were glossy! So we decided to take pics the next day since we both weren't doing anything anyway and this is the outcome!
p.s. I am not professional photographer and never claim to be....The pics may not be enough for a lot of people's standards on here but it was just a regular point and shoot 7.2megapixel camera and i just got it....Tips, yays or nays on the cars or the pics will be greatly appreciated!

BTW.. depending on the type of camera you own, you can adjust to different weather condition. Also, next time try setting the camera to take higher resolution pictures.. that way if you mess up, you can still correct it in photoshop Keep up the good work!
Just an example of high res and photoshop.. PM me.. i'm setting up a photoshoot / meet early febuary.. you should deffinently come out and hang out |

Im sure the cars are glossier than anyone could be led to believe with those pictures. Better camera skills needs to be broughteded with to take pictars of those cars so you can show us how clean they really are. Or a tripod.

it isn't a clean car unless you clean the wheel wells... Also the three step is alright, but I'd recommend if your using over the counter products to get a nice clay bar kit, clay the car, and use Meguires Color X, it has cleaning properties and polishing properties and will save you alot of steps and get the looks you want, if you want a little bit more pop from the metallics in the paint, top it with some meguires NXT spray wax, its fast, adds protection, and really makes flake stand out.
