well the lighting on your 911 there is "legit" in the sense that the photo wasn't taken on an overcast day, or during dusk where the skytone reflection dials out all the swirling often found on black. That 911 picture (looking at the shadow under the car) was taken with the sun pretty much directly overhead. THis is where you can really see the state of black paint. Kinda like taking flood lights into the detailing garage to identify and polish out swirls. This particularly 911 is well prepared. Playing with resolution and contrast will increase the 'shine' or reflection but the depth of paint is not often faked in these type photos. But I'm sure a detailing product company can make anything look good for marketing purposes which I don't think is the case for these Ebay seller.

maybe Santa will get you a tin of $80 Pinnacle Soveran, even though the $25 Natty's Blue from Poorboys does an equally good job.

p.s.
why do people put crisco on their tires like that? tires should never be shinier than your paint. bling bling.
