You Pros have your work cut out for you educating your customers so they have realistic expectations.
The way I`m reading the recent posts, and having followed posts by these two Autopian Pros for a while....IMO David Fermani and Mike Lambert are closer to being on the same page than it might sound
Mike Lambert- I am *NOT* arguing with you, but I will point out that another reason for taking a long time is "every pass takes off so little clear that you have to do a lot of `em". So a gazillion-hour correction job might not be "damaging the paint" but rather avoiding that. If *every* micron of clear is critical, you don`t want to hog it off for the sake of expediency. Not that taking forever is gonna work for every Pro! Heh heh, "what`s your time worth?" comes to mind even if the customers are tolerant.
David Fermani- Heh heh, you and I could compete for "Who Takes the Longest"
(Maybe for different reasons, but still...)
Oh, and...regarding the "Extreme" stuff, as long as it`s *NOT DAMAGING THE PAINT*, sure, have at it! But if perfection is gonna result in paint failure, then it`s a mistake, simple as that. "First do no harm" and all that...well, unless it`s gonna get repainted soon anyhow, or at least kept out of the sun.
