This owner had found me online being located relatively close to him. He had previously hired another detailer to address the interior and exterior of the car. The previous detailer spent approximately 3 hours on the car inside and out. Needless to say, the owner was not satisfied with the paint finish afterward. While to the uninitiated, 3 hours seems like a long time to spend cleaning a car, that's only 90 minutes each when divided evenly. To wash, decontaminate, compound and polish this car to a reasonable standard, took approximately 8 hours. There were certainly some deeper defects that remained, but we were able to remove 95%+ of the defects and leave plenty of paint for future work. Now that the owner has a better understanding of safe wash practices, light machine polishing every couple years should be sufficient to keep this car in pristine condition.
