A detailer at the dealership I deliver to told me my 'good enough' panel gaps were making my work look cheap.

I used to think a 1/16th inch variance on a cowl fairing was fine, but after that chat, I started using a feeler gauge set on every panel and now my sign-offs look pro, so what's one small detail you guys started nailing that made a big difference in your final inspection?

But does the average person even notice that?

You'd be surprised what sticks out once you know what to look for.

Bet you @owens.nancy is right that most people don't notice at first, but I figured it out by paying attention to the little clues myself. Started watching how people held their phones or which hand they used for stuff, and it became a habit pretty fast. Took a while before it felt natural, but now I pick up on it without even thinking. Just takes a bit of practice and suddenly you're seeing things you missed before.
