Thanks Matt!
Well its kind of like
Esteban said, its a late intro since I have been posting on the 1er forum for a couple months but had not opened a thread for the car yet!
I don't mind at all talking about the price since I got multiple quotes from a couple places (more for the M2) and some were higher than what it cost me to do the 135i which to me is weird seeing the M2 paint does not have 6-7 years of damage like the 135i paint.
Places will be all around usually based on the type of work you are being quoted for.
The 135i went thru a full paint correction and detailing which runs for $700, this includes a treatment of Ceramic Pro which lasts 6 months.
On top of that we included the Ceramic Pro 9H coating which is good for 5 years at a cost of $1300.
Lastly they pulled the wheels off and did full face and barrels including brake calipers for $200.
All said and done its $2200 dollars which to me was reasonable with the amount of work that goes into it and the standard pricing I have seen regarding the coating.
Your detailer should give you multiple options for Ceramic Pro coating (1 year, 5 years or Lifetime).
The benefits of this I will see in the next months since I understand that the coating allows the car to remain cleaner longer and cleaning it will much more straightforward since it repels dirt etc.
I usually clean the car and two days later the wheels being Race Silver looked black very quickly. This should keep them clean longer and should cleanup easier also.
I drove the car almost 600 miles back to Florida and got rain during the trip and the car got home still looking clean. I love also how you can just empty a water bottle off the side of the car and not even one single drop stuck to the car
