How to Get Real Refraction (photo vs. rendering)

I've been working on a project and am stuck on this refraction problem with liquid soap inside a clear container. Hopefully there is a fix. On the real product the soap is of course in contact with the clear container so they sort of become one (don't know the technical term). For renderings we always have a small offset between the liquid and clear to avoid the triangle patches, but then the affect doesn't seem to produce the true to life refraction.

Please these images. Any ideas ? :?:

Thanks !

Just for fun on the same topic, if you want a real refractive challenge to test with Maxwell then try to reproduce this experiment. :)

Thanks guys !

I've been using MW since beta, but somehow forgot all about this.

Love that video Maximus !
