Re: Deep Gloss Auto Salon: E60 M5 in Interlagos Blue Metallic

Great work, yet again.

That thing was DIRTY!

Only constructive criticism I could ask for would be to post the afters in the same camera settings and throw in a few HDR/sharpened ones in the end. Your work is clearly great, I just think it would be a more fair assessment to post befores/afters with the same "look". Simply a minor comment though, your work is great.

Re: Deep Gloss Auto Salon: E60 M5 in Interlagos Blue Metallic

That is some really nice documentation and great work. I would highly suggest avoiding the use of photobucket as it KILLS the image quality which is evident in the pictures. It really takes away from the true finish of your hard work!

Again, awesome job!
