I love seeing the before and afters. You guys do an amazing job. I enjoy cleaning my car, making sure everything is perfect, but you guys take it the extra mile!
Just wondering what a cleaning/detailing job like that would cost at your shop?

That's insane. Love the incredible shine they have afterwards.
Pas, if I remember right, there was one Ferrari that had a bit of work done that just edged into the 4 figures. Usually nowhere near that much though. But seeing the quality of the work, it's definitely worth all that and more!

I figured it would be around that much. When you consider what those cars are worth new and the amount of work that goes into them to get them looking that clean. Don't think you'll see my Accent in any of those pics though.
