Thank you. To be honest I am not overly familiar with a lot of my competitors (only those whom I am friends with) because I can only focus on the work I do and the results that my clientel expect.
I would also add that if you are happy with the quality and value of the work you received from the previous detailer that you are often best served sticking with them. Many detailers excel at certain aspects so if you find one you click with, you best bet is stay where you are happy. (Not saying I wouldn't like the opportunity, only trying to be honest.)

Not only was it a lot of work (about 65-70 hours in total) but honestly it was very skillful work. This wasn't a simple do step A thru M and be happy.
The factory paint is fairly thin so I only had so much film build (clear coat thickness) to work with. The owner is so anal that if I were to overly flatten one area, then he would want the rest of the car blended in to match (removing valuable clear coat from the whole car). This meant that each stroke of the sandpaper had to be precise and the work constantly checked to re-sculpt the paint.
I have detailed several award winning concours cars for the owner and he wanted to the paint to be polished to absolute perfection (if you look in the after shots in direct sunlight you will find absolutely zero swirl marks or scratches) so another 30 hours had to be invested into creating a flawless and super high gloss finish.
On top of this, there was no room for any mistakes or damage. So I really appreciate the compliments, thank you!!!!
