I do enjoy detailing. I did it professionally for a while and its kinda relaxing.

Yes and no. For most, the paint would look amazing but there were some issues I wanted to address. I used to have guys send their brand new BMWs, Porsches, Ferraris, etc etc to me straight from the dealer still wrapped in plastic. Even in those very high end cars I could find marring, nibs in the clear, and wet sanding marks. So yes, I could have just waxed it and let it go and it would have looked great, but there were some small issues that I wanted to address. If I had sent the car out for a $30k paint job at The Werke shop, they would have someone wet sand and polish it for delivery too. I didn't spend nearly that much on this paint job, knowing I would have to correct it.
