Very cool, Marc!

I'm glad they did - it'll hopefully show a bit better this style of work. Thank you for the kind words :)

Sure is Charlie! Thanks for the kind words bud and I hope all is well.





There should be another few pics they still haven't added (a few after shots).

That is exactly what I thought of when I read through it. It'll show potential customers the quality in this type of work, and that if they read it on a site thats more mainstream like that one it'll be good for business :)
 
The article is great. Your photos are excellent for showing what is capable, especially pointing out that a new car can still be improved.



While it is great to demonstrate the potential of a high end detail, showing what is capable on a more limited budget is also important. It's very easy for the average person to see write ups like this and think "That's great for a millionaire, but I'll never be able to afford that." We all love to see the results of a 30 hour detail but John Q. Public would probably relate better to a quatlity 10 hour detail and have them seeking out a detailer for their own ride.
 
Excellant! I wish every customer that just thinks we wash and wax cars could see what REALLY goes into a detail!
 
Congrats Marc! You guys deserve this kind of recognition. The skill, passion and charisma you guys possess comes through in your articles and write-ups, and it's encouraging to see young guys with this kind of drive. Kudos!

I'm confused - are the pictures in the article of you or the detailer in London? Either way, cool article and good work.

The pics from the direct article are the dude in London - they made a separate gallery for our pics. Were you ever contacted by the author? I might have done a little name dropping when talking to him... :whistle1:

Hopefully, or at least that's the goal. No matter what, more recognition for this style of work is great for all of us.

Thank you! Great thinking as well, as it was also a concern for me. I know they wanted it to be about high-end detailing on exotics, but I made sure to talk plenty of "the norm" as well, and how it's beneficial to owners of all different cars. They originally wanted pics of work being done all on one car, but I was able to convince them to allow multiple cars with similar work, so I could show a couple of exotics that turn heads, as well as a classic (which is somewhat of an untapped market for us), and a "daily driver" M3. I wanted the public to know that while this is performed on exotics, more common cars also have this type of work done to make a massive difference in their appearance.

Cool - I think they may have changed the format a bit after I first read it, it makes a lot more sense now re: who is who. :) I wasn't contacted by the author but I really appreciate that you may have dropped my name! Interestingly I was contacted by someone who read the article and asked if I "did stuff like that", to which I replied "of course". He seems like the kind of guy the article was geared for; he may never have known people did detailing like that if he hadn't read it, so :clap:
