Detailed E55 AMG

Haha. He doesn't detail for a living, he's an investment banker. He details on weekends, which explains why he is booking into August. If you think you can afford an M3 and M5 on with a detailing career all I can say is good fucking luck.

Sure you can make good money detailing, but it isn't one of those professions on the top of the "get rich fast" list.

Another I did for Bimmerfest

Anyone in the industry knows that there are definitely awesome shops, but to run 5 crews *and* have top notch quality is really, really tough. I am sure if you do this for a living you know how hard it is to find employees that will do as good a job as you with no vested interest in the company. If you're on site with them all the time you can make sure they do what they need to, but like I said, it's tough.

I know it is hard to say that guys like you, me, fminus etc produce better quality as a whole than shops, but when it's just you quality control is easy. When it's 25 guys, not so much.

What an amazing job on the Benz, I wonder how much that guy charges per detail.
I really need to go wash my car now
