First and second were both black, I think. Second was a Ford F-150 with an American flag refelcting across it and the winner was a black Nissan 350Z almost completely covered with the reflections of orange, yellow, and red leaves.
At first glance I was like "What the hell happened to the engine compartment?"
Then I realized the hood WAS still on the car. Even after seeing that it was a reflection I looked closer and thought "What is that weird red line in his paint?" and then I realized that was your ceiling mounted extension cable.

One other thing I may do differently is that I only hand wash the car and if that means the car is brown when I get a chance to wash it, then so be it. If I could wash it more often that would be better (and save me from a lot of clay barring) but my car has never once been to a commercial wash.
One of the most important parts of my detail regimen is that I NEVER EVER bring my car to an automated car wash with brushes. The automated washes with the brushes are the worst! If you have a lot of cob webing in your paint that's where it came from. Touchless washes are a little better, but still use very harsh chemicals which can strip any wax or polymer you have on your paint. Also, if you use a self serve bay NEVER EVER use the brush. It's just as bad probably worse even than the brushes in the automated wash. Since it's very cold and snowey here in New England sometimes I do bring my car to a touchless wash during the winter. It's better to do that than to leave the road salt on the paint.
Only crappy thing about BB is its not gonna look like that after a few washes. I've kinda given up on keeping it show car quality. The car is here to serve me not the other way around. lolz
