I am really glad to take special care of my cars....i`ll be by next week to pick them up

LOL - On a serious note, your studio (and the cars of course) are unreal. If someone told me to "dream up" my perfect detailing shop/studio/warehouse, I would be lucky to list 10% of what you actually have implemented.

Thanks guys :biggrin:

Wheels play a big part of what we consider to be the perfect detail. So we take our wheels detailing pretty seriously. Each bolt that locks the wheel hub are individually detailed to ensure that they match an equally well-detailed wheel.

We spend typically 1-2 days to get the wheels detailed to a showcar finish.

Wheels have a special place at the batcave. Depending on wear conditions, we can customize a detailing program suited for restoring even the toughest requirements.

Here`s a couple of shots of a bespoke set of Koenigg Specials on a Ferrari 575 Maranello used heavily for track days.

Even the inner wheel core has severe rust...

Brake-dust have bedded into the original chrome finish...

The photos are self-explanatory:

Watch how it transforms after two-weeks under a specialized detailing regiment:

Absolutely perfect!

macdude - I moved your thread to the Man Cave as if seems to fit this area better. You`ll notice that this area doesn`t get alot of turnover like the Click N Brag section and would be more mutually beneficial.

Hi David, appreciate the thought. Though my main purpose is to share about the cars we`ve detailed so I don`t think the Man Cave is best suited either. Would much prefer to be in the previous section as the intent is to showcase our work. Hope the clarification is acceptable.

No worries. It`s moved back to the Pro Before & Afters. Thanks for voicing your decision!

I dont want to sound unprofessional....but...

WHAT

THA

****!

At first I thought this was some really really really really really rich guys garage, let alone a detailing shop. I mean wow. I did not think a detailing shop could be something that far out there. It boggles my mind at how much something like that cost to set-up and what your overhead is per month. Hell, I am really interested to know how much you average in price charged per car. I would love to know, even if you have to send it in a private message. I am not knocking your work or business, far from it. This just literally blows me mind. I dont think I could ever have imagined before this thread, there being a detailing shop in the world like this.

Macdude, great shop and great craftsmanship! How many guys do you have doing the physical detail work?

**Envious Eric** · 08-21-2011, 11:44 PM

I`m game!!!

Hi MachNU,

What we charge for each car really depends typically on the sort of detailing it requires. It could start from about your currency equivalent of over a grand for a couple of days work on a new car and could be up to ten times as much for concours-level preparations. Restorations are invariably subjective.
