Default Amazing Detailing

Had the car detailed by Single Point Detailing in Greensboro, NC and am extremely happy with how it turned out. The paint was a little more than I was comfortable in correcting. Then it was coated with Element 119 a new ceramic coating. Anyone else have any experience with Element 119. Hope I loaded the pictures correctly

Looks Good. For that type of work...probably around $1000-at least.

What takes the time is correcting the paint before hand.

First, like i said before the price would depend on the amount of work needed. Second it is my personal opinion that how much money I spend is my business and not really up for discussion. But since it seems to mean so much to some people it cost me $ 700.00. Which I thought was a pretty good deal.
