Can you please start telling us what these jobs cost? its not a big deal, probably help your cause...

On the other note, looks absolutely fantastic, but look at that camber, lol! that guy must be buying new tires every 7000 km. if that!

[ExtraSlow]

So you carry the convertible top cleaner that is made for yellow cars with white tops. Any other colour schemes available?

Sick as always.

All of our details are charged by time based on what is required for that specific job so indicating hours or price is only relevant to that exact car and that exact job.

We have to see the vehicle and discuss the job details and establish a time range for a quote for each vehicle.

Hope that helps understand our specialty detailing services.

Very cool car, and great job. Should bring you my 1960....

I would advise the customer to consider relocating the fuel filter out of the engine bay, and away from the distributor. Fire waiting to happen. Move to the line under the tank / wheel well.
