STR8-UP-G

this is my car after one coat of Meguiars NXT wax and some helpful info from Guitarman. I thought my car was going to need to be polished to get rid of some of the swirls i had but after this NXT was, i dont think that is necessary any more. I have pix, but they are too big. Anyone know how i can resize them so i can post it on cl?

Ben, some of the techie guys will correct me if I'm wrong, but I usually resize my pictures using Microsoft Photo Editor or MS Paint. There's an "image" tab in Photo Editor that allows you to resize, rotate etc.Then they will go back into the folder they came from in a smaller form.

Then they should upload and fit on the forum page here. Or if they're hosted on another site, they'll have to be re-uploaded to that site first in the new resized version first.

Maybe there's an easier way I don't know of that someone can help with, but that's the way I've always done it. Can't wait to see the pics!

if you use photobucket.com
they'll automatically resize pics to be a maximum of 250KB.

i open the file with windows picture and fax viewer. I cant find any icon that lets me resize. I see the rotate icon but that only flips it upside down. Any one have an email i can send the pix to.

You can send it to me , just click my profile and send it to my Hotmail

Yeah Ben, the MS Pic & Fax viewer is simply a viewer, I don't believe it has resizing options or much editing ability, that's why I use Photo Editor, but your CPU may not have that software.

Try the other suggestions made by the fellas.

Thanks Lexstastic.

Dont mind the driver side door. I think it is the flash from the camera that made it look like that. I am very satisfied with the results. Special thanks to Guitarman for his wonderful tips. I am planning to use this product on my silver M3. I will post pics up when im finished
