Maserati Detail: 5 day process
#4
Looks immaculate, but I'd like to know the process!
I've yet to see a Mazzi butchered from the factory like the F-Cars, but if you had to spend 5 days with this one it must have been butchered to a Juarez donkey show and back.

I can appreciate a fine detail but what I don't understand is why someone would pay to have a detail that takes 5 days. I assume something like that is over $1k. Within a week the car no matter what will get dusty, dirty, and in some cases need to be washed again. I have mine cars detailed (inside and outside including carpets and all interior leather) once a year from a guy that picks up my cars from home, takes it to his shop and 8 hours later brings it back. Each time the car looks better then when I picked it up new from the showroom. He also steam cleans the engine and takes off each wheel and cleans the inside of each wheel. I pay $350 which includes a $40 tip. Am I missing something with these 3-5 day details? Please explain the pay off and the cost considering the car is constantly driven in a hostile environment. OUTSIDE!

Alot of the time there is heavy paint correction required for a long detail like this. Also, you can even go so far as to repaint things like lug bolts or covers in the engine.
I know I have spent 3+ plus days on my own car before working roughly 8 hours a day.

Thank you all for your comments the owner of the vehicle higher a detailer and he wasn’t satisfied with the outcome he end up with a scratches and very bad swirl marks and buffer trail and when I measured the surface it wasn’t leveled for it to have the reflection and the shine so I did my magic.
