OK, now we're getting somewhere.

I didn't say that your paint wasn't good, though, I'm willing to bet that if you shine a closely held halogen light on the paint you'll see more anomalies than you're aware of. I did say that your paint does not have the same level of gloss as it does in the pics and that the effect was gained through processing. And, clearly, it was. Good luck to you.

I hope this was meant as a bad joke.

 

^ I would love to see pics of your GG for comparison.

 

I'll take his opinion for what it's worth but I still stand by mine I don't need someone to tell me how my car looks, I know the condition it's in And I'm not sure how to "gain gloss" in CS3, maybe I'm just a n00b at that but I'm pretty sure you can't put a gloss filter on it.

 

Couple of recent photos

 

^^^ One of my favorite GG on here! Beautifully done bro, I love the wheels especially...perfect TE37 offsets...+22 or go home!

 

Sure. Here is my car in its natural state. The pic was taken in full sunlight with an ancient, el-cheapo Canon. No processing, no BS: clay, 2-step polish, DWG, 1000P.

 

Here's my GG.

 

C'mon, let's not get carried away. For the third time, I said that the unusually high level of reflectivity and gloss displayed in your pics was driven by processing. Those pics are tweaked to the point where GG starts to look blue. Just look above.

 

okay okay fjf, lets keep the bickering out of this forum PLEASE

people have shiny pics and not so shiny pics , this is just for congratulating eachothers good looking cars, lets please leave it at that

 

^agreed. There are more pics of Alvin's car on the forums and it looks to be a clean car all around. Is it really necessary to point out that there may be some blemishes if you hold a halogen light close to it? Come on, he was honest that the pictures have seen a bit of post processing so what are you trying to prove.

I'm sure both your cars are badass, we can all agree that GG owns all... lets move on with the thread eh?

PS that kidloco evo is SICK!!!!

JDM bumper and Voltex diffuser will be coming next year

 

I didn't say it to insult Alvin. It's a first step in paint prep. Halogen lights are used before and after polishing to gauge the paint. If one wants to achieve a show-quality finish, he needs to do the same thing. There's simply no other way to see what the paint really looks like outside of bright, direct sunlight. Unless such a thing is done and the paint is polished to remove all visible defects, light scratches, swirl marks, etc will dull the finish by scattering the paint's reflective properties. As I said in the post that started this excursion, visit the detailing forum for more info.

While RR/TB/EB can be mirror-like after a detail, GG simply doesn't look as reflective without processing. Claiming otherwise is what began this facet of the discussion. You'll have to forgive me for posting when I'm asked direct questions, as in this reply.

 

Tight bro!

 

I agree, very well said. I'd like to keep thing positive too.
Thanks for the lookout bro. I think it's time everyone drops this topic, FJF is gonna hold his own opinion and we're gonna hold ours so it's pointless to keep going back and forth anyways.

 

That car is AMAZING!! Those wheels are hot.

What do you use to get a shine like that?
