Sorry I'm critiquing earlier on, as a professional and to add that extra OOMF to your photos, make sure you clean your gps. Be careful to mix tungsten (3200) strobes 6000k can get nice effects but for cars its ALL ABOUT gradations.

actually i have no such equipment as strobes and tungsten... only the sun and low-tech shadeless ikea lamp with twisty white bulb which i did not use in that shot.

that shot was taken in my garage with the garage door open. hahaha.

Flash would work on your camera, if you had a remote system with the TL system I think it called; Tungsten lights are your home lights the ORangeish ones.

Try One light source then, if its all tungsten put it on AWB then take a picture of an ALL WHITE surface or an (18% gray card if you have one you can buy them online) then it will calibrate all your colors.

Once you've shot a picture of an all white wall go to WB settings, and choose custom white balance find the picture with the white wall and press okay, you should be good to go for better shots.

OR as I always do is play around with my Kelvin temperature until I get something I wnat!
