    Where are you located? Personally, I would suggest comparing some of the other top pro coatings available, like CQuartz, GTechniq, Modesta, and Opti-Coat. Talk with certified installer in your area and go with the one that explains things best, talks about what coatings can and cannot do, and just seems the most honest. They all protect very well, while each excelling in their own way.

    Just my $.02

    I did another and after days of an early morning start to dusk and even longer of meticulous cleaning and polishing all by hand, it still could use more upon much closer inspection and removal of certain parts...

    Detail perfection, damn it!!!

    Completely agree, an for me most bikes take around 12 hours on average but if there is a lot of brightwork it can take 18 to even 30 hours but those are really very specialized jobs.

    Mi Hermano ! I pray that you and yours are safe and protected from this virus thing..

    Wow ! That is a lot of hours !

    And here I was thinking that my 20+/- hours on a complete, perfect inside & out, from one end to the other; perfect paint, Vehicle Detail was a long time..

    I guess we really have to love the work, eh ?

    I hope everything is well on your end as well, NY is definitely getting hammered right now. Were I`am it`s pretty bad but we`re all stocked up.

    I love doing anything, as long as they`re paying : )


    Seriously though, I just want to get paid fairly for my hard work. If it takes me 5 hours so be, I`ll bill ya for 5 hours but if it takes me 30 it`s going to cost ya.

    Thats what makes detailing so complicated, most people want the 30 hour detail grade level but at the 5 hour price.

    The true, comitted 30 hour detail wanting customer/owner is a rarity due to cost, it`s usually a person with the available disposiable cash to shell out for such a service, a special breed that wants the best of the best to keep what they have in impeccable shape, they are out there but not as a whole and not enough to keep a business going steady.

    I`m dumbfounded to see at local biking events people letting bikini wearing young women carelessly grind the same dirty, filthy, sand/dirt caked wash mitts they just washed a half dozen bikes with into their beautiful bikes paint and chrome.

    People who do so in my opinion are just lazy who have no clue and or appreciation for what they have/own...
