Either your camera failed, or your detailing shows no improvements. I can't even see the shine in it.

Yeah... by the time I finished, the sun was down so there wasn't any sun for the shine, took the pics with an 8 mp cam, so it's bound to have poor quality.

All the other detailers here use that special bright light and shine it on the car when they take the photo so it looks more clean...
The bright lights help detect swirls and scratches so if you take a picture with out the lights there still might be those swirls in the paint but since theres inadequate lighting you wouldn't know.
