    Re: Polishing: OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO...

    I am surprised by the reaction a little, but Paul is, as it's been said, a "well known" detailer. I would not put too much concern over this or a 10 year old car in his capable hands. The guy knows his stuff.

    Paul works on 6 and 7 figure vehicles on nearly every detail. 99% of the rest of the detailing world only dreams of working on these cars. I don't think you need to question whether or not he has the right technique or knowledge.

    Yes i would agree Paul is a well known detailer.It doesn't make a difference what the cost of a car is.My customers don't drive 6 figure cars and matter of fact some only can afford 4 figure cars but in there eyes it's just as inportant to them .And i also know alot of detailers who don't dream about doing 6 and 7 figure cars but take the same care as if they work on 6 or 7 figure cars.Paint is Paint and should be treated that way no matter the cost of the car or the detailer working on it .

    No doubt.
    Marketing or internet hype doesn't land you a client base of the most expensive cars in the world...competency does.

    Even if hype did get someone to buy into his services - you really think that many people are going to let him screw up a $500k car's paint just to see that he doesn't know what he's doing? Yeah right. Like him or not - he knows what he is doing I think.

    I would say Paul is one of the elite, very best detailers.

    If he says jump.....jump!

    I agree, it does take allot to burn the paint.

    Typically, I see this more so when too much pressure is applied with the edge of a wool pad or when buffing a sharp edge where the buffer concentrates allot of its force. These points tend to heat up rather quickly softening the clear and then the paint itself.

    I concur! But you still have to give the guy props for pulling is that kind of clientele.
