I thought it might be of interest to show some of the before and after processing I apply, using one of the recent Club RUB shots.  The "before" shot is as it came straight out of the camera. 

Most of the hard work on the lighting front was done in the shoot itself... I had two Nikon speedlights (SB800) punching through a large skylite panel to the camera right, to light the whole side of the car.  There was a SB900 into softbox camera left onto the male model.  Finally I had a SB600 firing up into the doorway - and this was a bugger to fire, because I couldn't get line of sight with my IR trigger.

However the original image still lacks a little punch, and I needed to turn the car red!  Most of the post-processing was done using Nikon's excellent (but very buggy) CaptureNX2.  The Club RUB numberplate I created using PaintShopPro.  If you want details on the steps, let me know!
