Re: dsms detail - Black STi sticky correction

I also enjoy reading your posts. I think the car turned out great. I know how you feel about wanting to do a 100% correction on the car, however it just may not be possible all the time, I know the feeling, it upsets me as well when I'm in that situation. Some things are beyond our control when detailing a car.

I think your honesty to the customer will pay later on down the road. What you did in returning him some of the money shows dignity and honesty.

Awesome job my friend.

Re: dsms detail - Black STi sticky correction

I understand fully, though not on such a large scale as 3/4 of an entire side of a car, how frustrating a bad respray can be...My hat's off to you sir. You did an amazing job.

I agree with several of the above, it's nice to aim for perfection, but sometimes, it's just not possible.

Returning some of the money was an incredible gesture on your part. I hope your customer appreciated it and will pay it forward in the future through loyalty and referrals. I'd do it in a heartbeat if I thought my work wasn't up to par in relation to the money I was charging, so good on you man.

thanks for the tips along the way ryan, working a menzerna finishing polish with the PC for finishing would have never crossed my mind on this car!

If something isnt right I have to make it right and as much as I tried to make the paint right it just wasnt happening so I made it "right" the only other way that has become acceptable these days, lol
