Yo Zell! (Tryin this again) You're sig is badass! Just wanted to let ya know! lol 
WTF did you use to make it look wet and glossy? I've never seen a car scream purple like that before! Sorry about the first thread, stupid server lol

Thanks. 
I just washed it that very day I unexpectedly took pics. The CGP sparkles more than the EBP IMO but since EBP's a lil' darker it's gonna mirror a bit more. I just noticed how reflective it looks now (in that pic) come to think of it, lol. I also just noticed that the actual lights around are reflecting the lines on the car (esp. the door) - it looks sick. The area was surrounded by lamps and to say the least that probably helped it look like that. I guess the light does that.
This pic is with the garage door up. You can almost clearly see the opening in the garage and the house that's reflecting off of it.
As long as there's enough light to cause a reflection, then you'll get that. Too much light won't cause that effect.
When was the last time you polished/waxed your car? Mine is just about due for a polishing/waxing and I'd like to do it before it rains although I always do it garaged anyways.

Another.
I actually disappove of the paint job done to the car. I learned that a car will mirror best depending on how well it was painted. For instance I notice a good difference in how well the fender and the doors reflect in comparison. The doors have so much overspray it's almost sad. Overspray causes the reflection to sort of ripple. Places like the hood, trunk lid, part of the quarter panel, and even the rear view mirrors seem to have the least amount of overspray. Hell, maybe even the bumpers.

Rep Power: 0 LOL it does kinda look like that.
Waxed my car a few days ago, just did Meguiars Step 1. I got Meg Step 1, step 2, and instead of using Carnuba wax for step 3, i dished out an got Meguiar's Gold Class. The meguiar's soft soap owns all, **** looks waxed just washing it. I dried my ride and then used Quick Detailer on it, looks helza dope. I got a 10" buffer too, just been mad busy lately to actually put step 1-3 to the test.

Last time I waxed my ride. I just used Turtle Wax for Green cars, it came with this lipstick thing you put on scratches, its like a wax crayon and you like go all crazy over scratches, then apply wax over it, supposed to work, but I dunno.
I was forced to buy Turtle Wax's polish, but I haven't used it yet. And yeah, nearly anything Turtle Wax these days sucks, but I do have Mother's Wax... and damn... I love it.
I wanna find that 'Satin Creme' wax.

Ha... nice turtle. But I hope it lasts. I used to use Zymol but I made the mistake of buying a liquid form wax/polish before and you can tell that it wouldn't last for even 3 weeks. You know your new car needs wax when you slide your finger across the section above the door and it makes a "sssssss" sound and feels almost like paint. When it's silent, it won't let you down.
I got this "exterior renewer" bottle from the dealer and it brought out the car's sparkle like wax, but since it's liquid I've yet to really evaluate it.
