Automotive Editorial Photo Enhancement

Refine car lighting and reflections while preserving the exact vehicle.

Prompt

Enhance the uploaded car photograph into a clean automotive editorial. Preserve the vehicle's make-specific body shape, wheels, trim, lights, mirrors, paint color, and visible markings without guessing unreadable text. Keep its original location and camera angle. Remove minor dust and distracting surface smudges, then use broad soft highlights to define panels while retaining reflections consistent with the surroundings. Balance exposure under wheel arches, preserve tire tread and road contact shadows, and keep windows believable. Do not redesign the car, lower the suspension, add branding, or replace the scene. Retain the original aspect ratio.
