I found the legendary detailer named "El Chino"
Oh my !!!! This guy is just incredible. I was so blown away by this guys work that I asked him to get his camera because i forgot mine . He's going to send me the pics .The steps that this guy does to clean out the wheel well and calipers , the engine , the seats and how they are conditioned right down to the car itself is phenominal . Hours of work . I hope that my car is still clean tomorrow to snap some in the sun because it was getting dark when I took these. Right now it's as clean as a mirror. Just driving it home got so much attention as if it were a new car. "El Chino" gets my highest praise .
I got home and the sun was setting and even though its hard to tell the up close view look at thse cool sunset shots.

I have heard of El Chino and I live in Colorado. A patient that once lived there spoke of bird poop and scratches that seemed to just fly away as an individual approached with a bright glow around him. This was El Chino.
What a wonderfully small world we live in.

It depends on what your car needs and probably best to call him and show him your car . My Turbo didn't need as much as my M3 will so even my cost may vary.

I'm going to try again in the better part of the day . I think at 6:30 PM and even indoors the lighting doesn't help . I just hope my car stays clean long enough. I am just so impressed with the way it looks that this detail thrill may become my new thing.

I can tell the detail job is good.
Either you own a really crappy camera, there is a break down in the transfer to your computer, or you are using an inferior upload program.
The first two could be related.
For my third point. Use Flickr... its free and much better than photobucket etc....

I am sad that I am this amazed with my car and it was right in front of me and my pictures aren't loading.
Don't worry .. there will be many more Chino pics in time .. even if i have to buy a new camera or fix this old computer.

I have to tinker with this computer to get this right.

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 dropped the car with him last night and picked it up at 6:30 today . The M3 might need an extra day though . It's driven everywhere , left outside, waxed rarely . On top of this it happened to be filfthy when I dropped it .
The Turbo actually looks better than when I bought it . The guys who wax these cars when they are new coild not accomplish what Chino did to my two year old Turbo.
When I drove it home I got enourmous attention . It was so clean and shiny that my guess is that it looked like I bought a new but modded Turbo.
Over the years I have had others detail my car but I never saw anything this good on one of my cars.
