    some pictures of mine following some TLC

    Been quite depressed about the state of my paint but decided to put a cheap machine polisher from Costco over the car at the weekend. Ignoring the leading edge of the roof, she cleaned up pretty well

    Took a few pics in the setting sun which is always one of the best times to show off the pearlescent finish.

                what did you use with the polisher? was it a cutting compound or just polish?

                  Wow, that looks stunning. Love pearl white on an S2. I have B5 RS4 rims on my Avant and to be honest i was getting a bit bored of them, but seeing how good yours look i might have to give mine a make over. Simon.

                    Hi - nothing exotic, I used som AG Super Resin polish then applied some Collinite and buffed it with a lambswool bonnet.

                      Looks great, that's one thing I haven't done for a long time in mine. Looks great in the sun

                        Have to agree with what has been said above. Some superb photos there that look very much like Film photography.Love the discrete black porsche calipers and has made my mind up i Think. Was this Film or Digital and what camera?

                        Car looks stunning in Pearl White.

                          thanks...all taken with a Fuji HS10 'bridge' style digital camera and no touching up at all afterwards, just two settings, landscape and sunset mode. I think the resolution drop adding them to photobucket has given them tat look and feel

                            That's it then, although i am not familiar with cloud photos, photobuckets etc.I am a luddite! But seriously the way the photos have gone very dark but still showing some detail in the not so important subject areas has added a sense of Artistic merit that Film is loved for.Very nice.

                              It's already been said, looks stunning. I still love those RS4 rims against the pearl white. You have taken some great photos too....
