I really think that Porsches are mainly for driving. Positive experience has to come not from detailing. I wash my car -- if some thinks I don't -- but this is sick!

With so much information nowdays on the internet, from video's to how to manuals, if you have the right tools and most importantly time, mortals like us can reproduce a similar detail maybe a 90-95% which will be truly outstanding by comparison to what we usually do. So I invested in the right tools to the tune of about $400.00 and I must say that my first detail exceeded my expectations. While I know that I will probably never reach 100% of perfection like this detail, its pretty darn close. My biggest issue is time and my aggravated back

Hey Danny,
Yeah, I hear you! I think as a demographic, there are likely many more porsche owners with dirty fingernails and DIY as their middle name than Lambo or Ferrari owners (Robin as one clear, notable exception ). A bit of time, energy, and tools, and we can approach if not often times surpass the quality of work that pros provide. Not to mention I am just a working stiff 
Still, for guys with that much discretionary income, this level of attention has gotta be a 5-smile service experience! Kudos to the guy who has made this niche for himself ...gotta love his energy and entrepreneurial spirit!

The part that most impressed me is the paint thickness measurement and polishing. I have had a go at wet sanding and polishing a few cars and therefore have the utmost respect for the skill and knowledge required to do this. I have neither. I think you have to be neurotic/compulsive to go to the extremes that he did. It's still impressive.

Wow! That is pretty intense. It's the time that I think is the problem for most, I mean 55 hours, who has that kind of time free to do something like this.
I could see getting my 993 to that level if I still lived in the mid-west and the car spent a few consecutive months in the garage durring the winter. I could spend an hour or two each evening out in the garage and over the course of 30-50 days clock 50-60 hours detailing the crap out of it.
