It looks brilliant!

But man, how bad was it in the before shots? I can't believe the swirls and scratches, I would never let my car the bad.

(Unless you bought used and it was like that when you bought it of course)

Amazing job there, thanks for sharing, it's a shame getting the car dirty again after that, that's why I don't detail my cars, otherwise I'm afraid to use it again for some time haha.

They did an amazing job.
How do you wash your Car? Carwash? Those swirls can't come from a handwash.

Hi!

Thanks for the review everyone!

In fact, I bought my car from a BMW dealership who had it as a service car for one year.
I really dont know how they washed the car during that year, but ozinaldo was right:

New car's are never this perfect!!
In fact, the company that detailed my car as a "new car detail program", that's a special price for detailing car's right from the dealership or with less than 500km and without a single wash!

In this pictures swirls were a bit enanced so we could see them, but in fact, they were a lot!
I'll put were some pictures from the day I picked up the car in the dealership so you can see the diference!

This job depends always on the car condition! So, first thing is to go there and get the car inspected to get a quote! Then, it depends on how perfect you want the car, and how protected.

In my car, Total paint correction was done and after it was protected with ceramic coat.

How much? - Total paint correction depends on the car condition and can go from 300€ up.
Ceramic protection depends on how big is the car and is 150€ up.

How long? - After some weeks now, it look's as the day it was done! But I drive my 1M almost everyday, so I can expect to get it back to detail in 2 years.
I'll keep you noticed!!

Detailing (very dependent on how the total number of touch-up or polish up areas) and a silica/glass-like based paint sealing at 400Euro for our 1M coupe. They guarantee that the car will keep on pearling water drops for a year.
