excuse me i have limited tools? my shop is busy all year round buddy & its heated too?
i guess your impresed with a larger shop over my small 2 car garage as if that matters with what kind of quality of work thats produced.
that guy does great work & is reguarded as one of the best in the country so what? that doesnt mean he does the best work. there are lots of detailers like me that are not so known around the country that can produce anything that those guys who charge double then me do. for all of the top rated guys in the country there isnt anyone out there that is better than me. there isnt anyone out there that can produce a better detail than me so yea, put me in that same category as him.
i guess you havent read many of my writeups. if your going to compare, the difference is you will be paying double for the same work to stay local. or you can pay me the same to go mobile. your comparing apples to apples so dont knock my work.
his prices are double bc of the little bit of fame that hes riding off.
good for him, i have alot of respect for his work. hopefully soon ill be able to charge as much as him.
you see all of these detailers on autopia & other sites like L4p. lucky for me i dont have to post up on any of those sites. i choose to stay under the radar. if i joined any of the larger sites like that my writeups would draw the most attention. i dont need the extra attention.
i can compete with the best of them. dont knock my work.
there isnt a detailer you can name in the country that is better than me. 15 years of experience, been there done that thousands of times over.

no, no....
i'm not trying to say you're not good - you misunderstood.
i have no doubt you do good work in your shop, i'd never question someone's ability based on the amount of space they have to work in. reread the last sentence i wrote. there is no intention to knock your work in any way.
my point was that if you were to travel up to the boston area to do a handful of details for guys, you would be dealing with limited tools & stuck working in unfavorable outside in 25degree weather this time of the year! i wouldn't expect you (or any professional) to have the ability to produce the same quailty of work in a freezing driveway in the middle of the winter vs. in the shop. it's not fair.
believe me, if you were local, i'd be going to you for 1/2 of the price, no question! i don't like to overpay for things unless i feel like i'm getting my moneys worth. i just bought the fx, it's black & def. has some swirling etc. nothing major, but nothing i have the time to deal with in my driveway, esp this time of the year. i'd like to get it done professionally to start off the relationship with my new car & moving forward i'm sure everything will be done by me.
