Client just picked this up recently for his wife. Getting some correction and protection. Paint was in decent shape, typical swirls, some etching from sap/bird droppings, and water spots.
Paint was on the medium side.

The ‘details’:

Gary Dean shampoo.
Adam’s Tire and Rubber.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
McKee’s37 Iron remover.
Adam’s rinse and coat.
Master Blaster to dry.
Flex 3401.
Flex ‘pixie’.
Scangrip lighting.
Griot’s Fast Correcting Cream.
Griot’s Perfecting Cream.
Optimum Panel wipe.
Adam’s ceramic coating.
Metro Vacuum.
McKee’s37 quick interior detailer.
CarPro PERL tire dressing.
Scholl Concepts Ice cleaner gel glass cleaner/water spot remover. (thanks Guz!!!)




























 
O M G what an owner! First he comes to you to get the job done correctly and safely but before that he makes 2 great choices...1. Miami blue 2. silver wheels but 1 major ommision

Damn I'd love to be on The Dragon and surrounding roads in that NOW

Nice work. Headlights look great. Did you do the ceramic on them too?
 
Thanks all!

Klasse, he just picked this one up after trading in his other Spyder that was a manual box...he wanted PDK this time!

Snoop: Yes indeed, they got coated.
 
Nice work Scott....

PDK shift faster and smoother but nothing connects you to the car than a proper manual gearbox. Maybe I am too old school and too much of a pack rat.... I would hold on to any sports car that has a manual gear box since no one will make them in 10 years.
 
Scott -

I always look forward to your posts. Amazing work. Just a suggestion, can you also give the hours spent on a vehicle. At least for me it will give an idea of how much time it really takes to achieve your results. I am sure most of us amateurs would be amazed at the time it takes a professional to get the results you routinely do.:dblthumb2:

Thanks for taking the time to share.

Ahhh, so he wanted to dip his toe into the other pool, I get it. My car has a DCT and it really bangs off the gears and it's supposed to be one of the slower ones

Great color, wheels, and excellent work as usual. Looks better than when it rolled out of the showroom!

BTW, perfect level of gloss and perfect application on the tires. I have to use my PERL more often.
 
Another winner Scott !!! Love the color and those wheels :)
 
Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments!!

I stopped logging my time/hours a while back. I now follow the 'it's done when it's done' rule...some get done sooner, some later! LOL
 
Love that color!!!

Awesome as usual and great write up as well, Scott!

When you churn out that kind of quality, you are allowed to do that. ;)

Back in my restoration days that is pretty much how I did it too. I did track hours because that's how I got paid, but there were no binding estimates... Time + Materials all the way. That is really the only fair way to price out near-perfection.

What many people don't understand is that last 10% of the work when striving for perfection takes as much time as the first 90%. I don't know the exact ratio, this is only an analogy, but the point is that those final details are extremely time consuming. The rule of diminishing returns applies, yet time spent chasing those diminishing returns is necessary when the utmost quality is the primary objective.
 
A car as top notch as your service! WOW! You get to work on some real beauties and always do outstanding work. I need to move to Florida :)

Great post. Getting a customer to understand your 90/10 ratio is key. If the customer doesn’t care, doesn’t have the eye for the details, or doesn’t want to pay. Then they will not make a good customer.

Scott’s continued repeat and referrals tell me Scott’s guests get it, but most important I have a feeling they trust Scott and know it will be done right.
