I have no idea how you correlate wanting to put a cap on number of pictures into people being "afraid". I have no fears that my work isn't up to par. There's only so many pics you can take of a vehicle to show before and afters before it gets repetitive. That's all I'm saying.

It was directed toward people not wanting comments on the details. Plus you are the right about pictures, they will easily show sub-par work. Glad to hear you feel your work is above par, pictures and comments will show either way.

Ok here is the final rough draft, last chance to make any suggestions, we are going to start this tomorrow!
------------------------------------------------------------------

Extreme Makeover Contest!


To enter contest you must have a full write up of how you worked your magic and the products you used! Also lots of pictures (I’m sure that won’t be a problem for anyone here, we all like to show off our work!!)

The whole reason of this contest is to show some of the newer member what can be done with the right products and the right knowledge!

When all the entries are in we will get it down to a few finalists and then turn it back to all of the forum members to vote for which one they think is the best! There will be one grand prize and prizes for second and third place.
Grand prize will be a Cyclo Polisher! Second prize will be valued at approximately $100 value and third will be approximately $75 value.

Main Points to Cover

• Exterior only on this contest
• Must take before and after shots
• List products and methods used, as full of a write up as you can provide please
• If possible post picture of before then one of after right after to show the change
• Contest will run until May 28th this will give a fair advantage to those members experiencing their second winter right now.
• No comments will be posted in this thread; I will have a second thread for comments and questions.
• On May 16th a poll will be put up so the members can judge the winner
• If too many entries, staff will narrow down to top 10 to vote on
• No maximum of photos, but please resize so they are not too large.
• Please no duplicate pictures, try to pick out 15-30 of your best before and afters
• Majority of products used must consist of Autogeek products

• Open to professionals and amateurs.

Well what are you all waiting for go find that junker out in the field and get to work!

Also guys, try to keep lighting changes fairly minimal in your before & after shots! For example, don't take a picture in direct sunlight to show swirls, then have your "after" shot in the shade showing reflections of trees. Most of you know this already, but I just thought I'd put in a little reminder.

That looks good to me!

Thanks for the guidelines Meghan.

Since there seems to be no complaints we will get this started in a new thread tomorrow. Start looking out for the junkers in your neighborhoods, you need to see if anyone has one on four blocks! Maybe you can find one hiding in someone's backyard!!!
