NONE of the NuFinish pictures posted by members are specifically shown to highlight the swirls. They're all beauty shots.
NOT a single one was a closeup of a panel with a bright light specifically to show the worst possible lighting to highlight swirls. You only really see those kind of shots on before and after product test like on Autopia. The most dramatic being half and half tape lined tests.
NONE of them showed a before and after.

Take a look at my explanation for beauty shots. Do you see ANY swirls in the last two? You can easily see the detail in the bricks and the peeling paint on the neighbor's roof. Remember this is my car at it's worst. But I made sure to include one that did show the swirls, none of the Nufinish posts ever show specifically a swirl highlighting shot probably because they'd be shocked when the rubber meets the road and they actually find out their car is swirly.
And it looks as good with just a wash as most people's cars after a detail with NuFinish. It is swirly at this stage but the lighting, angles, and photography techniques don't show the swirls. They show the reflectivity because the car has been polished very well previously and waxed regularly.
I don't care that someone posted shots because I specifically stated photographic techniques don't necessarily equate to a decent polish.
Look at the old 13 year old white car in the post. Only waxed maybe twice but it's the angle of lighting making it look highly polished but I can guarantee you the surface finish isn't ideal.
That's why my polish post specifically was preceeded by a post specifically about beauty shots and photography. I was trying to help other people who were wondering why when they post a picture it doesn't look as good as the pros. First thing they try to blame is their polishing technique isn't up to snuff and I countered it may very well be but the pros not only know how to polish their cars but know how to photograph them to get them to look as good as possible. Learning good photography techniques is actually part of setting up a detailing business. Besides word of mouth excellent photographs of detailed cars is the next best business advertising.
