Outdoor Shots

April 13th, 2015: Outdoor Shots after Weather Cleared Up

The wife went to go check on our house today, and since the weather cleared up, she dicided to take some pictures for me in the sun. It was cloudy, but still sunny. I think she took some pics at different times. I do wish that the sun wasn't shielded from the clouds, but they still turned out great.

She's also learning with the whole car-guy picture thing, but she's doing a pretty good job

These are just cellphone pictures, she forgot the SD car in her camera and will be taking pics with that soon.

Very nice, dude (including the house/property). How's your wife enjoying the car?

Thanks!! The house is coming a long nicely, but the majority of the work right now is on the inside. She likes it a lot. However, she admits it is a bit much for her. She only drives it to check on the house and run quick errands. She'll be luck to put 100-200 miles on it if that.

She's going to get an MW M235i, I think. Should be starting the order process soon.

psuibmw · 04-16-2015, 06:44 PM

Nice hope u will enjoy the car when ur back

Jockey · 04-16-2015, 07:36 PM

Looking good! New house and new car when you get back. That's a lot to look forward to.

amanuuh · 04-16-2015, 10:16 PM

hmm interesting never thought about getting a dash cam till now

Vectors2final · 04-17-2015, 09:02 AM

I figure why not have a camera. It's commonplace here in Korea, and insurance discounts are provided to those who have them. It will soon be the norm in the US.

Plus, I think it can be kinda fun to catch things I see on my daily trips.

UH_TX · 04-17-2015, 11:27 AM

Great thread. Keep the mods coming very similar to what i want and have.

Thanks, man. We're going to have to meet up, I know there is a couple other guys in Houston with Yas, and I think it would be cool if we all got together for a shoot.

On another note...

I wish that it was easy to find wide tires for 18s, but I think I'll like not having to care for polished wheels.

UH_TX · 04-19-2015, 02:02 AM

Sounds like a plan. Hopefully the Houston guys can all agree on a place to meet. Def keep you in mind. I guess you will have to wait till you get the Vff 103s like me

Vectors2final · 04-19-2015, 02:08 AM

Where are those pics at?

I haven't see those....

Are we going to have the same car?

Vectors2final · 04-19-2015, 07:16 AM

I caved in and bought the Rupes LHR15ES polisher.

I don't know what I'm going to do with my Porter Cable 7424XP...

Vectors2final · 06-14-2015, 12:33 AM

Well, here goes nothing.

I ordered a bunch of new detailing tools in addition to everything I already have. Maybe not as much as some of you, but a halfway decent collection.

Rupes LHR15ES(Ordered Last Month)
Rupes Pads
Went with some Collinite 845 at the recommendation of Money2536
NanoSkin AutoScrub Pads(Came with a glass kit I'm going to try out as well.)
32 Microfiber Towels
Microfiber detergent.
Menzerna Top Inspection
Iron X
Detailing 3M tape.
Microfiber Applicators
Wash Mitt
Assorted larger sized microfiber towels.

For the Clear-Bra installation.

18 Feet by 60 Inches of Xpel Ultimate bulk film.
Olfa Carbon blades
Olfa Knife blade holder
Olfa Art Knife with air hole release.
Four 32 Oz spray bottles
A few squeegees.

I have the rest of the stuff to do the job, so wish me luck. I've been studying for this pretty hard. All edges will be wrapped. Hoping to knock this out by 4th of July weekend.

Money2536 · 06-15-2015, 09:07 AM

Do document the process on the Xpel. I'd love to see that one.

I will be doing my best to give a thorough, high-quality explanation with loads of photos documenting the entire process from start to finish.
