Show Us Your Reflection Shots

Come on white cars where are you? It's alright for all these fancy colours with their perfect reflections showing how easy it is. We the members of the White Car Appreciation Society need to band together to show them that we can do it too. No longer will we remain as the silent masses. No more will we sit quietly in the corner accepting the abuse of others saying our paintwork is flat and lifeless with poor reflections. We need to raise our voices and stand united in the fact that 'We Can Shine Too'. :)

I even took the picture of the whole car so Jassy couldn't accuse us of cheating...! :) (just a joke by the way)

So stand up and be counted white cars. Show your shine with pride and don't let the oppressors make you feel like your sub standard or don't belong.

And always remember 'White cars need love too'. :)

#whitecarclub good job fellow white car owner

@THQuattro 's QD leaves a fabulous mirror like shine. Those who haven't I'd suggest you look into it it's a really good stuff!

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on them @jassyo06. The car wasn't too dirty to find out the actual cleaning ability of the shampoo. I still have some left, planning on leaving the car dirty for next 2-3 weeks before the next wash (if only I managed to leave it for that long ). Toby also mentioned it is safe on CC'd car.

The plan was to do A3 between 6:30 and 7:30 and then quick wash and dry the S4 as it had been sat outside and collecting all the dust. No chance!!!!

I took me a little over 45 mins just to Snowfoam and shampoo wash the car. It then took me another 30-ish just to dry and I meant proper dry the far, the sills, doors etc as I hate the water spots in these 'hidden' spaces. And I did use the CG drying aid, which made the drying process really quick. QD was another 20-ish mins.

I have managed to wash and dry in one hour only once so far and that was my Silver A4, where it was hard to tell the water marks. But then, it wasn't Snowfoamed but just washed and dried.

. Maybe one day I'll do it.

Surprised yer reflective levels aren't better than that mate with the amount of products Yiv fired on to yer Mrs A3 lol

Depends on the angle at which you take the picture. Trust me, it is a lot better and more reflective than what it is in the picture.

No swirls or scratches at all @scotty76? I don't why but I am a bit apprehensive using this thing...

Yeah I totally understand. It goes against the detailing grain! :) I've never had issues with it. I either pressure wash first and then use it. Or when we are in hose pipe ban territory I follow the pre-spray and wash method. The Detailing World guide has all this in it.

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=195294

I'd probably not use it on a really dirty car but with the ceramic coating I find >90% of the dirt comes off with a pressure washer rinse. I also think minor scratches will appear anyway over time as wear and tear. As I tend to get it detailed every couple of years I'm happy enough with that. Put it this way I have more stone chips than scratches at the moment. :)

Stone chips ... The more you drive the more they appear .

Cheers for the link, have read about it but always slightly apprehensive to actually try ONR. Will give it a go.
