Thanks for all the comments!

Unfortunately I am not taking any new clients for detailing! Too many!!!

Pricing is different from one car to the next

Good job as always but what does this have to do with e46's? I appreciate your work but I also think the blatant advertising is a little lame and dilutes the paying sponsors message. At least keep your posts limited to e46's.

I always enjoy looking at his detail jobs. As I'm sure everyone else does too or else they would skip over it when they see "FMINUS:_______." It gives me hope that maybe my car can look that good again. Probably not happening unless I want to drive 2,000 miles to see him.

cwc was probably supposed to be cwg (citrus wash & gloss). The meter is a paint thickness gauge. Lets you know how much room you have before and "oops" happens

vist detailingbliss.com or autopia.com, there are lots guys almost as good as FMINUS posting their work, you might get lucky and find a guy close to you.

even if you find someone as skilled as FMINUS be ready to pay. based on the type of cars he's doing and the fact he's overbooked, i'm guessing his price is way, way north of the 'average detail shop' that charges $300 per car.
