he couldve save some time by cleaning the wheels first then washing the car because hes repeating the drying process again with the MF towel lol... claying with QD as lube and measuring paint thickness witht he meter.... using a Makita 9227C Polisher with a 10amp motor and lots of toprque as a rotary polisher with compound. rubbing on the pure carnuaba wax following the airflow then buffing off with a waffel weave MF towel. man i wanna be like him one day!

The elements of an industry best detail are all there. Top materials, good equipment (see those lifts), being meticulous and patient, lotsa love for what you do and more importantly, customers who are willing to pay a decent chunk of change for you to work on their trophy cars.

Detailing isn't really rocket science (however it can come close apparently), it just takes some good product a good eye and a ****-load of patience for all the small stuff that all add up to a great detail. The technique is easily duplicable. Just most people aren't willing to spend that much time on their precious free-time or weekend on their car after a week of their daily grind.

$5000 for a detail!!!Holy jesus. I gurantee you I could get that masareti mc12 look as good or close to what he made it look like for about $300 in materials.

I believe the only thing that seperates his, is that it supposely lasts for 6 months, ****, it should last for a lifetime for $5000.

cool vid none the less, one of my all time dream cars.
