Really really nice work Moe. Sometimes I wish I was mobile to take on projects like that.

Did you get paid? or was it a pure passion project?

Regardless, amazing work!

My days of doing cars for free have been over for many years Now I'm fortunate enough to do the work I love, at the level I've always wanted, and I get compensated accordingly. Finally, the years of being poor as a detailer are over The market finally caught up to me and now clients know what we're capable of delivering, and no one thinks twice about the price. Like I said, I spent many years not making what I thought I should, but I never backed down on lowering prices or doing volume work for less money. I won't compromise quality or time to save a few bucks. This is why we're not your average detailing company that does 3-4 cars a day. We do 1, maybe 2 cars, per day and focus on delivering our best on each detail.

Thank you Sir...I feel so bad Eric for not having your writeup done on your new 997 Cab. I will promise to have it done over the weekend and on the board. You've been so patient I'm humbled to have clients like you that becomes very loyal. I'd rather have one of you than 10 others that are half as loyal. This is a win-win for both of us I guess. Thanks for referring your friend with the new BMW 335 Cab. I know a lot of time went into that car, but the results speak for themself. Jon did an excellent job on the detail.

Thanks for the compliment. As for pricing, the client compensated us handsomely and it was a great opportunity for both of us. The slight setback with our film installer did cost me an extra day, which in turn made us break even profit wise. However, I think the opportunity to deliver an end product that makes the client say "WOW", is priceless. The best compliment was from the client himself " In my 15 years of buying Porsches, I've never had an experience like this". That speaks for itself
