Just incredible. It seem you surely have no shortage of cars to detail.

Amazing! That setup and those cars would make anyone here envious.

Well done mate

[Megafast13]

Quite immaculate indeed.

That has to be one of the sexiest Mercedes I have every seen as well.

Thanks guys Here's a rare beauty. The classic Ford GT40. This is the only one in our country and was custom-built in South Africa as a kit. It has participated in a bunch of classic car races on our local circuits. There's just something about the contrasting Gulf colors I tell ya! *hehe*

It's essentially powered by a massive custom-engineered lightbox which diffuses the 400 fluoro tubes and is cooled with a bank of 10 fans. The entire studio was built from the ground up as an automotive lightroom. The flooring is fire-resistant polyurethane and the fillet walls redirect lighting back-up. Very simple concept actually *hehe*

Well one thing is for sure.... I don't want your electric bill! Even if they are fluoro tubes, 400 of them has to be quite a power draw.

And if you're wondering why such an elaborate setup, it's because I juggle two jobs and shoot professionally as a commercial photographer for companies like BMW, Honda, Renault, etc... And for the most part I create custom-made photo albums for private clients to showcase their supercars. My photography website is here. Part of my pre-requisites for shoots is that the cars have to be detailed by us before I shoot them so that they're nothing short of perfect when the shutters click. I thank the Lord that I've been really blessed to be able to combine two of my passions as a job...

Just checked out your photography site... awesome stuff there! I only wish I were so lucky to be able to do something like that.

Wow. I am incredibly jealous.

Incredible photos and even more so, the shop and lightroom!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Here's a couple of Ferrari shots post-detail. We usually take an average of 3-5 days to craft out the perfect finish on these vehicles with a team of 2-3 detailing crew members for each car assigned. Trust me when I say that the lighting brings out every imperfection and it actually takes much more work & time to ensure that the finishes are consistently perfect *hehe*

*hahaha* Yes you're probably right. I run three separate electricity DB(distribution boards) to power my detailing studio
