Clayed and polished with a nice coat of Swissvax Crystal Rock.

You should take a trip to SE MI and do a similar job on my 1er... It's all tucked away for winter and ready for some serious swirl removal! :smile:

why anyone would spend 1100 on wax is beyond me, while I agree the car looks nice after the detail, it looks no more amazing then any of the zaino or meguire details I have seen...I guess its just a niche product for people with more money then they know what to do with.

Ditto. Hire 49 friends, start a franchise, and send them to the other states you're not detailing in. I get commission for the idea.
