The guy charged $4000 for that lambo detail in case you missed it.

$4000 was the price of the job. The trim I believe was $6000 because it was all piece of the window and installation.
He was charging what a real experienced pro charges to do true actual correction which he thought he knew a lot about and thought was easy. I know he spent a lot of time on the job, but I think it was to fix his mistakes.
I am sure he was a great detailer with a lot of passion and took pride in what he did when detailing, but when it comes to true actual 100% paint correction and taking the gloss to the max level, while insuring that nothing will return, this is where you REALLY need to know what you are doing and must have a LOT of experience.

The amount of work done (3 step correction) could have been done for less then 3k IMO, probably 1000. The owner thought he was getting me, and I live in central FL as well.
Ryan has it nailed. I think 4k for a 3 step paint correction is ridiculously crazy. I think that this work could be mimicked anywhere from 800-1200. When I inspected it the amount of compound residue left on the paint was crazy!

I think some guys just see, WOW if I polish expensive cars like that I can charge that much. In reality, we charge an hourly rate so for $4000 that means we put over 70 long hard hours into it.
