Not many detailers out there can say they detailed a car worth over a million dollars. This Maybach has been valued at around $1.4 million. It is a Knights Luxury Maybach with carbon fiber panels (not wrap!). The interior is carbon fiber as well.

While the styling is not for everyone, you have to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into detailing this car!

(On a side note, I got a prank call about a week later from someone out of state. They left a voicemail saying "Hey mother f****, my f***** carbon fiber turnin green! Call me back b****! Showtime...more like a**hole). I quickly called the owner and he vouged that the car looked immaculate still.

I'm confused did you detail this or just take pics of this car? looks like you just took pics at a car show of it not trying to be an ass. But if I had this at my shop or was detailing it I would have lots of pics of what I did to it. Did you do paint correction or anything or just wash it?

I for one would have taken some before and after pictures, HD video.
Another thing I would have done would have started a thread as soon as I had it, would have given daily updates.
But hey , some are not into pictures and such , just doing a car as this one is good enough for some:)

I can just hear it now, (in the not too far off distant future)---This "Mister Maybach's" moribund murmuring of: "I shoulda had 'em pimped my damn tax return instead"!

I didn't mention: we only detailed the inside. We were doing a sponsorship for a WWP (I try to sponsor a lot of their events since I'm WWP alumni) and while we were there, the owner approached us and asked if we would do the car...on the spot. Being mobile, I told him we could do the inside, but not the outside because we had no water (didn't plan on detailing AT the show). So we detailed the inside of the car, hence, not very many pictures of the outside. The owner didn't like my price very much for the outside of the car though. It is terribly swirled and needs some work, but some people just don't want to pay.

Well, I know they build these and sell them, and they also rent/lease them to celebs and probably ROYALTY at the prices! Concierge people don't like to pay us. I've learned this.

Rich people can be the cheapest people of all makes me laugh really.
