5 minutes?! Come on, I am at able to keep mine clean for a solid 10 mins and then its all downhill...I thought I had learned my lesson, my first German car was a 1996 VW Jetta VR6 (RIP) and she was black on black as well...told myself after that, will never get black again...so, I guess the lesson is to never say never

Ha ha...no, not repaired at MAACO, thanks for the laugh. I own a MAACO and while we do quality work at a great price, the closest my P car will get to the shop will be the front parking lot. I had to bring it in 
on a Sunday to get it detailed...I dont want my workers seeing it, they will all ask for a raise!

Well, every MAACO is independently owned and operated so they will all be different. I would put my crew up against pretty much any other body/paint shop out there. I have some very highly skilled workers that when given the appropriate time, can turn out awesome work...the point is that is not MAACO's game...we are in and out quickly at a good price. Will you find a little overspray, yes, a few specs of dirt, yes, a sanding scratch or two, yes...? Sure but you will also pay $500 for a job versus $1000 somewhere else. When ran correctly, MAACO has a good niche. So, pretty much, you get what you pay for...I make more money painting 30 cars a week at a smaller margin than I would 10 at a higher margin. Plus, owners of fine automobiles are very picky, as they should be and the profits go away when you have to fix things to make them perfect. We dont ever promise anything or say anything will turn out perfect. So, my parents got rear ended in their new Lexus, didnt come to my shop...they wanted to fix a few dents and dings on their Camry, came to MAACO as did my 2001 Pathfinder. Hope that clears it up for you...
