Wow. That's under half the hourly cost of a good detail shop here in Chicago. I shelled out just under a thousand bucks today on a polish and cquartz coating at 12 hours. He's undercharging. So great deal for you!

Holy crap! That's one of the best looking PRG cars I've seen and I include mine in that group. Wonder if your guy would come to NorCal. My last detail cost about the same and wasn't nearly as good.

Thats not really a concourse rule is it? Sorry for being naive, as ive never entered one of my cars in an event.

Your car looks great. 7 hours isn't bad, I've done 20+ before!

I'm in NorCal (Santa Cruz) and detail. If anyone is interested, let me know!

The guy did a full prep wash, decontaminate paint work and a 1 step polish and sealant. Said he uses German polishes and products.

No kidding. I forked over $75/hr x 12 hrs just for the paint correction part. And that's after being on a 3 month waiting list.

Your car looks amazing!

Did he also clean the interior? Any tricks for cleaning the sand beige seats?

With about 45K miles, I've got a lot of little swirl marks and a couple light scratches and imperfections in the paint. I've been tossing around getting paint correction and CQuartz done this year, but may need to put off until next year due to the additional complication/expense that I will likely need to replace the clear bra at the same time, mine is getting tired.

Well with the guy being OCD I came out to the garage at one point and he was sitting in the car cleaning the whole interior including him stating that he shined his fluorescent light on the rear window and crawled in the back to clean it also. It was nice getting the dirt grime off the steering wheel since now the interior looks new. I didn't get from him what he used to do this.
