Thanks for letting me know about this thread Wes.
I'm glad Dave was able to book you for a job that you are more comfortable with, based on what we discussed on the phone and via email prior to meeting I concluded that you were looking to achieve a finish that was show car quality like the link I was sent. And we wanted to get your car to it's optimal level in preparation for the show. Knowing this, I quoted $750-900 for a correction with Finest thinking that you had a F12/13 M6 (I got mixed up with another clients call). Upon meeting and viewing your car based on the standard you wanted to achieve that number was no longer relevant. Although the paint was in overall good condition i.e. No oxidation, fading etc. It was in dire need of massive correction work. A rough estimate was roughly 35 hours of corrective work to achieve close to 100% correction, including paint touch up on several areas, engine detail, interior detail, wheel coating, glass coating and Finest. Based on sheer size of this job I brought in Wes to lend a hand. Now between the two of us we estimated it would take 2 full days and around 40-45 hours of total work (20 each/10 hour days).
I normally charge $65 an hour at the shop for correction work, $65x40= $2600 not including $500 for the finest coating, glass coating, rim coating etc. So a $3100 quoted for $2000. On top of this we were offering a free wash kit & training a $100 value and a wipe down while your car was at your event. So to put things in perspective we are comparing apples to oranges here. We could have easily completed a two step correction on your car for around $1000 with Opti Coat and had your car in the shop for one day between the two of us, but based on what you told me that didn't seem like what you were looking for so we went with the best of the best. It's to bad because your car deserves Finest as Opti Coat just wont do it justice.
Anyways best of luck with your detail, and Chad I'm not quite sure why you contacted Dave when he was asking about Finest. It's unfortunate you didn't get in contact with Wes as he is also a authorized Finest installer as well.
