Default Detailing a Silver Car

I'm *thinking* of getting my car detailed before Japfest but I was wondering if anyone has any before and after pictures? I've seen the difference a detail can make on a black car, but I'm unsure as to how effective it'll be on a silver car.

IMHO it made a hell of a difference to mine but it's difficult to tell from photos.

So a worth while task?
I might look into learning how to detail myself, but I'd like it done properly for Japfest/this summer.

My mates came up mint, as Matt says hard to tell in photo's, but in real life it was immaculate.

I'll drop you a PM Barney
I'm only having the paintwork done, as the engine bay is something I can do, along with the interior.
