I found the legendary detailer named "El Chino"

Now get some good shots so we can all rave about "El Chino's" work This is way too technical for me 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.

Wow, while never underestimating the value of a good detailer, think the same about the photographer. THAT's how your car should look - what a beauty.

I think I got my camera settings fixed . Not certain . I will try and snap a few pictures later today.
Joel --I do have his number . I'll PM it to you.

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.

20 hours on a detail job...I am lucky to find 20 minutes to wash my car. I need a personal assistant to help with all the other stuff that I need to get done.

Larry, the car looks fantastic even with your camera phone pics!

Thank you . I went out today and tried again . I have no idea how the clarity of these pic uploads will turn out but here goes.

Larry,

Less than perfect photos or not, this is a beautiful car and the quality of the detailing shows through. My compliments. What wheels are those?

Thank you . The wheels are HRE C20 . They are from the competition series and are a step lip brushed center 19 in wheel.

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 .

The pictures I see are fairly grainy and like others pointed out are camera phone like quality. I understand that you may have settings made local to your computer to help you read, but that shouldn't affect the quality of pics at all.

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.
