    Why post the hours spent on any detail... since time spent is subjective anyway??? The way that I see it is 130 man hours. Not 130 hours.
    How is time (a measurable increment) subjective? We logged the hours as the clients pay per hour. There were 130 hours put into this detail.

    Re: 130 hour restoration detail - Bentley GT (Auto Concierge & Immaculate Reflections)

    Everybody has their own opinion. I've been around, and associated with, people from all walks of life. Detailing is what I enjoy, but it is not what I do.
    That which I specialize in is human behavior. And in my warped way of thinking, you confirmed my hypothesis.
    I'm delighted when one reaches the pinnacle of one's profession.

    Now, with all this said, I see posting of unusually long hours as one's way of seeking laurels from one's peers. But who am I? A low level local government consultant on a detailing forum.

    Kudos to you brother for your success, and thank you for posting this turn around.

    I was wondering if you would notice. I am sure you guys do not work for $40 an hour.

    The owner of that shop who is in some of the pictures is notoriously closed-mouthed about...er....the details of his details.
