BMW 1M Correction - Lucci Elite

[RaptorKTM]

I want to truly thank Jimmy Lucci & Justin @ Lucci Elite, for the work you did on my 1 M. I never imagined a car with 900 miles was already aged this much. The car now looks better then it ever has and could not be happier that I was given the opportunity to work with you guys. To all those interested in having a vehicle correction done, my honest opinion with many years of experience with many shops is to not over look Lucci Elite. I have worked with many so called "professional detailers", but let me tell you these guys have truly come up with a technique that works and has been proven through many cars just like mine. More then the amazing work is the fact that these guys are down to earth, and just relaxed to work with. You do not feel like you are dealing with a commercial business, you feel like your hanging out with some buddies working on your car. Great feeling especially when you have your prised car in someones hands. I truly have no qualms of leaving any vehicle I own with these guys. They really have taken care of me in so many ways and do everything with perfection. I really cant say enough about Lucci Elite. Not many instances in which I really feel writing a review is worth it based on the service provided. But with you guys it was a no brainer that I needed to share my experience. The car looks truly amazing, and to see a white car reflect like its black is something else. Thank you Lucci Elite again and for that matter SwissVax for their amazing products, I will be seeing you guys in a week or so for some more work.

Below I have attached pictures and the products used on the vehicle so that you can take a look at what was done. To anyone looking to make sure they start from the beginning maintaing your paint properly, I suggest visiting Lucci Elite. These guys also special in clear bra installation and can provide you can quote over the phone. They may not be cheapest around but their work is priceless.

looks like a kid's juice box exploded. it's sonax wheel cleaner.

did the swirls come from the dealer or was that just from normal washes? would you mind sharing how much your detail/correction cost? i just bought a load of detailing products and was wondering if it's better to just pay someone to do it vs. spending all that time doing it myself. looks great btw.

Thanks for the comments. The car had not been washed. Anything you see was from delivery, more then likely a lot was done during the dealer prep. The corrections are hourly charge of I believe 55 dollars or 65 if mobile. However considering SwissVax, Wax is around 1,000 USD let me tell you its worth every penny. Especially since of how long this product lasts.

it's amazing how much damage can be done to the car before delivery, i've spent enough time looking at paint correction photos for new car prep from the dealers. i used to be really anal about the dealer not touching my car, never specified no wash at pdi but luckily mine was delivered with hardly any swirls to the paint.

Did they tell you the price for the Swissvax or did you look it up yourself? The products used are actually pretty inexpensive (nowhere near $1,000, more like $100-200).

And you can also pay $500+ for an HDMI cable. Marketing at its finest.

Clear bra is a must!

[RaptorKTM]

I do know that swissvax can be in the 100-200 range. However the wax used does haver a retail price over 1k. Regardless, its a great product and I highly recommend it.

Wow, looks great! It's amazing how much damage the dealer can do. I had to call my dealer and tell them to absolutely do not touch my car under any circumstance. However the dealer they transported it from did.

[ethanh8791]

looks great, what was the detailer name again?

[Drace1]

Not thread jacking, but anyone have firsthand experience with Lucci Elite and Clear bra??

[Juiced1M]

OP So the dealer didnt do any prep on the car? just curious why there is so much imperfection in the paint.

[ZCP M3]

Yes the dealer did prep the car. The imperfections are there from transport and dealer prep. Just one wash and prep at the dealer can do a lot it seems.
