Awesome work as always.

To change the depth of field in some of the photos, did you use a longer lens or are they blurs in Photoshop?

You guys are a great team and do awesome work. You have a great climate and beautiful cars to work on.

Going into a job, that requires such drastic measures, what is your procedure to discuss the timetable and the work that will be involved, to the customer.

Thumbs up Re: Bella Macchina: 2 Black G35's

I just wanted to jump in here to say what a great job Todd did on my car (the 1st G in this thread).
I had recently purchased the car, and it came with all kinds of swirls and light damage from the dealership. After researching and learning quite a bit about detailing and correction through autopia, I decided to get a professional to work on the car with the hope of at least getting out the more noticable scratches.
Todd came by this past weekend and the results are much better than I had expected. I can't believe how great this car looks (I thought it looked great before but what a huge difference).
Well worth the cost. But as they say on the infomercials.... That's not all!
Todd put up with me asking a thousand questions, educated me further on details of product, and even showed me how to use a porter cable machine.
All I can say is wow, and thanks Todd!

Re: Bella Macchina: 2 Black G35's

Nice work guys. You both make a great team.

I hate wetsanding infront of the client, they always get nervous and make me nervous in return.

Thanks

Both, I used paintshoppro to try to blur some of the photos (didn't come out to well but all I know how to do on those programs is add borders/text) and a longer photos with a wide apeture...

Thanks Salty. I don't know if we have a"procedure" to discuss the timetable, but we are honest. If this is your business, then obviously you have to charge for everything you do (which is what our clients expect or the clients you want to work for should expect). Brian and I are brutally honest with our clients and present honest opinions, and discuss the various options are clients have.

Brian and I are very selective of the clients we have, and only wish to work with clients who want nothing but the best. If they are not interested in the best possible work, then there are plenty of guys who do less for much less. If that doesn't make sense, PM me and we can discuss it...

Hey Mike, it was a pleasure meeting you and working on your beautiful sedan. That thing is gorgeous (I think you just cost me mony because my wife really wants one!). Thanks for the kind words (your check is in the mail, lol).!

Thanks Thomas, about 5 hours... 4 hours of polishing and 1 hour for clean up and LSP application.
