Okay, not to take away from your detail or anything like that...but I can't take any of these photos seriously because of all of the modifying you did to them. Photoshop is not your friend, friend.

Do you have the raw, unaltered photos of the car you can post? Your colors are WAYYYYYYY off and it's far too distracting. The before pictures aren't too bad though. It's just the afters are dead due to all of the processing you did to them.

That's a beautiful car though! I have a kidney I'd trade him for it! ;)

No photoshop in any of the pics, juste Lightroom to adjust the white balance and tones.

The outside shots are straight out of the Pentax K-x in HDR mode because it was WAY too sunny to catch all the tones.

The pictures under halogen aren't HDRs and no phoroshop either.

Aren't the unprocessed pictures under halogen enough to justify the final result??? :confused: I mean, there's not a single swirls and Wolfgang 3.0 + Fuzion is pretty much the best combo for this color.

dude, come on, the first thing I thought of when I saw the after shots of the car outside was "ok... HDR,HDR,HDR, where are the real pictures!?" Nice HDR's but those hardly count. The ones inside the garage look great and I dont think you needed to mdify the others at all.

Actually, the sun shots look much better than halogen shots when taken properly. I didn't think about HDR when I saw your afters, but they don't show all of the hard work you probably put into your detail. It's hard to see the detail past the discoloration. Sorry man, I"m sure we won't be the only ones to say something about them either. I use a standard P&S camera and I don't have problems with too much light. Hell, even my iPhone takes decent after shots and I don't have to use HDR or any kind of mod software to change them to show my work. The HDR pics are artsy, sure, but useless in a forum dedicated to showing your detail work. Raw, unaltered photos taken properly are the right way. Anyway, like I said, I'd like to see what it looks like in the sun without the HDR mode. Still an awesome car! Didn't see any before shots of the defects so I don't know if all of the photos taken indoors are befores or afters. They do show good work if they're afters though. :dblthumb2:

Mods, please delete this thread as I don't have the unprocessed RAWs. The owner was waiting for his car and I didn't have time to set the SLR in non-HDR non-automatic mode.

Thank you!

:awesome: rusty rotors. Other than that, halogens look good.

No need to have it deleted, you've explained and everyone should see that. The befores are good. ;) No worries man.
