I stole this idea from another forum I belong too. I though it was neat.

Post pictures of reflections in your truck's finish and the product you used to get it.

I'm a long time Zaino user. I've recently depleted all my supplies and am considering trying Adam's or Fukken just to have a comparison. These reflections are just after a wax, no sealer or quick detailer.

This is Zaino Z-7 Carwash followed up by Z-2 PRO.

Very cool idea for a thread. Reminds me that I need to pay a little more attention to my truck. This will be a cool one to follow!

Here's the best reflection of them all! A camera flash!

Look ma, no swirls!

All done with Adams Products and NO WAX! This is bare paint! Like I've stated before. Wax doesn't make paint shine! Polishing does!

Here's really the only one I have with a reflection in it. This was actually taken the day BEFORE I cleaned it lol. But still got a nice shine because it's new enough I guess. I was taking a pic of my newly plasti-dipped badges.

Okay so everyone can ignore the picture I posted above lol (that pic is a few weeks old). Right now I'm getting the truck ready for a trip to North Carolina that's coming up this Friday, so obviously one of the things I needed to do was wash it. I'm ashamed to admit that, because of all the other prep I need to do for the trip, I took it to the local car wash to get it done :hidesbehindsofa:. It's a touch-less one that's run very professionally, so I'm not too embarrassed haha. Anyway, after I got back and did some touch ups, I took some pics for this thread and here they are!

Those of us with White trucks are at a disadvantage for the "reflection" pics, but at an advantage for ease of cleaning!

Those are some killer shots!!

Don't forget to post what product you used (even if it's just because it's new..lol) that way we can get a running idea of what folks are using and the process they like.

Keep em coming!!

Black or dark colors are obviously the best for reflections. Here's a few of mine:
