Great minds think exactly alike. My G was waaaaayyy cheaper than that and, no way in hell I'd let it get that bad.
End result was just spectacular. Excellent work.

Thanks Ian ! I know sometimes a car is simply a car to certain individuals. There isn't anything wrong with that. Just different priorities I suppose

Btw how have you been? Hope all is well with you

i don't think it's about the cost of a vehicle that determines how it is looked after. I mean I've worked on porsches and they are in horrible condition. Although a lot of car guys know the basic formula to maintenance unfortunately the majority of vehicular owners do not but that's ok or I wouldn't have work but it's always nice to detail a car that hasn't been trashed by controllable variables.

Fantastic work.
However in my own personal opinion, exterior being dirty is one thing, but anyone who allows to have their interior be that dirty should be shot.

Then again, I never allow food or drinks in my car and vaccum my car once a week.

LOL I am with you. I don't let anyone eat in my G or at least use to until I sold her. With my truck however I am a little less strict with food in the truck as long as it's always for me lol.

I'm not a fan of dirty interiors. It's usually lightly dirty or incredibly dirty. I don't come across many inbetweens lol.

Anyways thanks for checking things out Tofuproductions. BTW I love that name haha. What made you decide to think about that? Are you actually in Tofuproduction ?

No one even calls me by my real name except my family and my fiancee.

Amazing detail work. I've seen a lot of details but you definitely rank in the top. I kept going back and forth on the pictures comparing and can't believe the differences. How long did the entire process take?

Oh wow thanks a lot Ryuusei. Hard to reply to a compliment like that. I try to stay as humble as possible. There is always something new to learn and I try to learn as much as I can.

The M3 if I can remember correctly took somewhere around 12-14 hours worth of work. Don't quote me on that the detail was last year

Thanks again for the words Ryuusei It's always nice to have someone appreciate the work.

Nice work, Nikku, (no need to thank me, haha), I'm sure the owner was surprised and appreciative. Let's hope he takes better care of it from now on, including periodic details.

Than.... k wait.. you said no need lol. I'll thank you anyways. thanks !

The owner was pleasantly surprised. Those moments make everything worth it. I'm crossing my fingers that he's maintaining her but I hear that he's upgraded :P
