Removal of reflections, dust, scratches and distractions with natural, high-end retouching.

Every image is edited by a specialist retoucher and quality-checked before delivery, so your listings look consistent, professional and ready to sell.

A car can be mechanically perfect and still look tired in photos. Our car retouching service removes the small distractions that cheapen a listing — windscreen reflections, dust on the paintwork, light scratches, number-plate glare and the clutter that creeps into the background of a workshop shot. None of them take long to fix, but together they are why some listings look tired and others look cared for.

Everything is done by hand, panel by panel. Retouchers clean the bodywork while keeping the paint's real depth and reflections, tidy glass and chrome, and sharpen the details buyers zoom in on: wheels, badges, headlights and interior trim. The aim is a car that looks exactly like the one on your forecourt, on its very best day — never plastic, never overdone.

Retouching sits in the middle of most dealer workflows: after colour correction has set the tones, retouching fixes what colour alone cannot. Pair it with background replacement for flagship cars, or order it across a full set through dealer photo editing. Start with a free trial on 5-10 images and compare them side by side with the originals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does car retouching remove?
Reflections on glass and paint, dust, light scratches, swirl marks, plate glare and small background distractions. If something is physically part of the car, we leave it — retouching cleans the photo, it does not change the vehicle.
How much does car retouching cost?
It is $0.50 per image, with volume discounts of 10% at 100+ images and 10% at 500+. Heavier damage repair is quoted before we start, so the price never surprises you.
Will the car still look real after retouching?
Yes — that is the whole point. We keep the paint's natural reflections and texture and work panel by panel by hand, so the finished photo looks like the same car photographed in better light, not a computer render.
Can you retouch interior photos too?
Yes. We clean dust and marks from dashboards and seats, even out the light through the windows and correct the colour of leather and trim, so interior shots match the quality of the exterior set.
How fast is retouching delivered?
Most sets come back within the standard 24 hours. Express (12 hours) and Same day options are available at order time if a car needs to go live today.
How do I try it first?
Send 5-10 images through the free trial and we retouch them at no cost. You can compare before and after on your own cars before ordering anything.
