I don't mind at all, I do tweaking from time to time myself

How many layers was this in PS, and what did you tweak to get the car lookin like that. Love it.

Edit: Nice pics overall by the way. The ice really helped reflect any ambient light toward the car.

1 layer. Basically all I did was go to Image - Adjustments - Shadow and Highlight, then tweaked it. Once I was happy with the look, I went to Image - Adjustments - Brightness/Contrast and tweaked that. I find the simplest things work the best in Photoshop
