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.

Wow, with a detail like that I'd be afraid to even breathe near the car... Fantastic!

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.

Sorry folks, A 5 day "detail" is absurd on a new car
