Hi Tetters,
I've shown pics of my car float before but maybe they'll be helpful. The water is made by spreading joint compound on a white shelf board, rippling the damp compound with a natural sponge, coloring it with undiluted Woodland Scenes "Stone Grey", and covering it with several layers of acrylic gloss medium.
A couple of overall shots...

Close up shots of water...white ripples are cotton wadding soaked in gloss medium.
