    I don't detail a lot of white cars as I find white kind of boring to work on... I explain this in an article on white paint in my article list. That said, here's swirls on the last two white cars I worked on...


    Check out this extreme makeover, after all the work was done Jay sold this car for a $7000.00 profit.

    Using the same tips I outline in this article of, framing up the shot so your reader knows what it is you're taking close-ups of and then taking the close-up shots.

    Tip: Use a body line to help your camera lens to focus on the paint.

    Here's another white car, note that this was brand new and in pretty good shape, so there were not a lot of swirls to actually take pictures of BUT, what there was I did capture again using the same techniques outlined in the article of, framing up the shot so your reader knows what it is you're taking close-ups of and then taking the close-up shots.

    This write-up for Meguiar's new thin foam pads also shows the controlled photography technique of taking the before and after pictures by parking the car in the same direction and taking the pictures at the same time of day.

    Lots of before and after pictures....
