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.
