I'm always impressed by your work to say the least. Absolutely amazing.
If I was him I'd sue the other detailer to pay for it because that's just bullshit. He should get his money back for that shitty work.
My paint is 6 years old and looks better than that did. How can he possibly tell someone those swirls are normal and will go away? how the hell do they go away? Drive through a finely coursed sand storm?

If you EVER make a trip to Oklahoma let me know cuz you WILL be doing my truck as long as i have the cash.

you definitely have to love the job to put that much labor into it. As extensive as the damage was you were able to save it, impressive to say the least. Just for curiosity sake can you ball-park the cost one would expect to shell out for this kind of workmanship and do you have contacts on the West-Coast?

Nice. You do great work! I can only imagine how pissed the owner must have been after the original "detail".

amazing work. I need to find someone in the area that can shine mine up that good. I do a decent job myself and it looks awesome from over a few feet away, but once you get close...eek.
