Thanks for the kind words, but I don't let the criticisms bother me too much.
The detail was far from perfect, I'll be the first to admit it but I'm confident I was on the same page as the client's expections which I believe I more than met. Car looked great and the customer left happy.
There will always be those on these forums who focus on the glass being half empty instead of half full and will point out flaws which are always there in a less than perfect world if you go looking... that's just life.
This forum is for sharing all points of view and I usually try to learn something from all perspectives whether compliments or criticisms.
I always ask the client how much improvement/perfection they want, always try to explain the benefit, but in the end it's their decision not mine. This client specifically told me that this car didn't need any additional exterior work other than a basic clean up and that he was most concerned with me focusing on the interior.
Seeing the car with my own eyes and looking at the photos, I know the before and after reflect good value for the client's expectations. I think sometimes people try to sell more than the client wants or needs or offer only high end details, but that's their approach so that's fine for them. To each his own I suppose.
