My first reaction is photoshopped, especially with the strange whited out area in the one photo. But I don't believe anything I hear and even less of what I see. 
Let's see some more photos where you don't have such an obtuse angle for the shot.
Not saying you can't get that kind of reflection but I'm going to look at the image in detail, looking at lighting angles and shadows, to see if you are playing us.

Haha the more i look at it the more i think its photoshopped.. that whiteout area on the skirts... then look at the fender, the top part, is just weird, looks like he air brushed blue and smeared it :P.
I just looked at the image close up and it's definitely photoshopped. It's good for an amature, looks good at first, but when you look at it close up there are some clear indicators of doctoring.
The whited out area was a dead give away but I am always sceptical of everything including my own presumptions.

Hmmm, I just looked at the door reflection for my car and some of the parts I had problems with bluring and edges can be explained by the waistline and mild imperfections in the surface of the car...
LMAO, I just don't know... I'm going to take some photos of my car now... clearly I am no expert but some of the lines looked too perfect and some of the spots looked too blury compaired to spots right next to them that are crystal clear.
Plus the image is really clear and unfuzzy for such a low light shot. Makes me think you used a tripod and why would you use a tripod for a quick shot?
I guess the whited out spot is the thing that keeps my doubt alive.

LOL, YEAH! Answer that!
Ah HA! My weed wacker is on the ground with the other yard tools where it belongs so you must be a fruad. =)
And of course it's raining now, but at least I finished washing my car... now to dry and "wax." I use Liquid Glass so we'll see how well that stack up to your pic.

Damn my camera sucks too badly to take a picture in low light.
Normally that would be an excellent excuse to go out and by a new 300 Megapixel camera but I'm saving for car upgrades....

i believe its real, are you kidding, with the right lighting you can make your paint mirror. id like to see it in daylight to really get a feel for it, but as i said for 14 bucks, that looks kick ***, and if it lasts longer than NXT i may be a convert.
it won't last as long as zaino or klasse but it is pretty durable for a pure wax. I would say 2-3 months. Anyone that hasn't tried s100 wax should atleast give it a try. IMO, it rivals the more expensive waxes for a decent price. The only other wax that i think that looks better on dark cars is pinnacle souveran which cost $60. I haven't found any other wax that has the wholesome look that s100 (p21s) gives. For 15 bucks, it's one helluva deal.
I would guess that it's real, but as NOBI has stated, depending on the lighting/angle, you can pretty much make any paint look like a mirror. However, I'm not doubting the effectiveness of the wax, but I can make my Silverstone with like 6 or 7 layers of Zaino (after 1 year...lol) look like a mirror!

Honestly, the only thing that was photoshopped was "Sharpening" This only crispens the picture to show more detail but in no way does it give a mirror effect. I could resize the original if you like. At that angle and under flourescent lights, it will give off that effect. Although, the S100 brought out more reflection. I can't believe you guys think I'm lying.
On a side note, in those lighting conditions I had to use a makeshift tripod because it was too dark to hold it by hand.

That's one of the things I was seeing. Edges were too perfect. and of course the whited out area.
But yeah, I can see a total mirror in my car as well at the right angle.
For anyone who wants to try the s100 wax, don't forget to also pick up the s100 Gloss Enhancing Paint Cleanser. I always use this product before applying a new coat of wax to remove the previous wax i've used. It's really a great pre-wax cleaner that's so easy to use and it also doesn't stain trims like other. I've used meg's #16 and like it only because it makes my paint feel that it has a barrier. Water doesn't stick to it at all. But on the looks department, s100 will give out better depth, wetness, and gloss. I wouldn't doubt why guru report ranked it #1 out of all the other carnuba waxes.
