I did this black caddy last week. It went thru a local detail shop less than a month ago and looked like this....
before

Said detail shop charged $275 to do a "complete" detail on this car. This is work they consistently put out. I've never seen a properly done car come out of this place. Owner contacted me a took one look at it and said did ________ do it? Owner said yes. I told owner what I do differently and what it will take to correct it. He said do it. This is what it looks like now:

That's some damn fine work man! Black is such a challenge, but when it's done right, it's unbeatable.

You took quite a mess and made it look flawless!
