His gallery of vehicles in unbelievable...must be nice to work on all those cars
Reading his "Why Miracle" Section...It almost convinces me to use his services and pay his price. He has some good phrases that really catch the reader and make them feel like they need his service....We should get this guy to be an autopian, I would love to see some of his Click and Brag work  |

Where did you read £5500 for a detail? I can only find the Connoisseur Miracle Detail for only (!)£1100 included the Zymöl Royale. Thats about $2283.
Edit:
I missed the Pinnacle Miracle Detail, but their is no price. But 64hours is like 1½ work week. |

He obviously puts a lot of time into the details. You get what you pay for.
I know Mike Phillips (of Meguiars) charges $400 for the first day and $300 for each extra day it takes to completely restore a car's paint. If you have ever seen his work, you know why he can command a price like that for exterior only detailing. |

Assuming 8 hours per day or $50 per hour, that's no more than other pro's are charging.

Beautiful cars, they look very nice. Nice website also. But as for the "paint correction work".....I'm not impressed. I see much better "before and afters" here on Autopia.

Agreed Anthony. Far too many "after" shots of cars parked in the shade for my liking too.

Agreed. Right off the back, I can think of at least 20 of us right here on autopia that can produce that type of work, if not better. Maybe it's time for us to increase our prices?

A.J.,
Your cooking with gas again, I love the smell of prices going up in the morning.  |
