You aren't really expecting to get your detail money out of the sale are you? It's hard enough to get any value from tangible options on the car but $5k+ in detail money can never be recouped. I know you want to get more than you paid for it for the car so I wish you luck but I'm just very skeptical that it will happen.
Thanks for your comments, which to a certain extent, I agree with. The detailing and minor restoration work is being done for "me". Sure it would be great to get these expenses back if I sell the car but I am doing it because that's the way I care for my cars. We all have our "buttons" and mine is preservation and authenticity and am willing to go to greater lengths to have my cars in either original or restored original condition.
I also think that while I may not recoup the cost of a $5K detail, the car is ceratinly in better shape than when I got, even after driving 1500 in southern CO/NM dust.
I think this would make a great thread, I dont know if its ever been discussed on Renllist as I've had hours of discussion on this with Eddy Fiuza from Passion from Detailing.

Good point, if i was going to keep car long term that would be on list but steel brakes, in my opinion, provide a better driving experience than PCCB.

I went back and reviewed the photos again - car looks great, I too cant believe it hasn't sold. Maybe I can sell my white GT3 and replace it with your RS, I'll just tell the wife I got some new stickers for the sides and that the rool bar was always there she just didnt notice it...
tell her that the larger rear wing was put on to make the car safer

I don't need an excuse. I just tell her it's inventory. FTW.
