I cannot tell from the pictures, TBH.
It has nothing to do with the computer or the resolution being too low.
Lower the ISO and expose properly.
If you underexpose and have to brighten pictures later in post production, you'll introduce grain - especially in the shadows. If you shoot at very high ISO you'll have grain (or noise, same thing).
Now get some good shots so we can all rave about "El Chino's" work

I have never had patience for photography and as you can see bought one of those point and shoot type digital cameras when I got my car in 07.
I am almost ready to call IAMHOLLYWOD --he took thse shots awhile back . My car is much cleaner now.

I do most of my detailing myself nowadays, as a hobby for my DD, and can spend upwards of 20 hrs labor on a thorough job. However, we've got a top guy here in ATL, Mike Luca, of Sweating the Details- really top notch, the best I've worked with, if you're in the area definitely worth a call.

Your Turbo looks great Larry!
What kind of camera are you using? Perhaps you should get yourself a point and shoot camera! Out of the box, it should be able to get better quality snaps without any fiddling.

Canon makes the best point and shoots. Can get very nice 10 megapixel for ~$150. I think the issue here though may be .jpg compression setting is too high.

It is a point and shoot but it has a flash setting .Ssince I have trouble reading small print (I often make typos) I keep my computer at an off set resolution and the picture i see many be different than the one you see .

Not sure what kind of point and shoot you have, but if you get yourself a Canon SD870IS with the 3" LCD or their latest IS digicam, you will get better quality pictures without any need to tweak any of the settings.
