Making lighter colored paints POP!!!
Lighter colored vehicles are often very difficult to achieve a very deep wet gloss like jet black can produce. Todd defies the odds during this detail by making SGM look dripping wet. Read the entire BMW M3 article and detailed information here.
Some teaser shots: Thanks for looking! Greg @ Detailed Image |

Hey do you guys want to detail my SGM? You guys are in NY and I got ripped off by my dealer. $150 after my accident and the car did not get a good detailing.

brokenvert,
I'm pretty sure greg is going to be a lot higher than $150 he probably would have to fix all the imperfections the dealer put into it |

I'm no longer active in the professional detailing business. If you would like help doing it yourself I can help you with that task. I've helped countless first time detailers get outstanding results. The work presented above is from our detailing partner Todd from Esoteric Auto Detail in OH. If you are in the NYC area you should consider talking to Phil from DD (the post above), he's not too far away if I'm not mistaken. He does quality work and should be able to help fix surface imperfections but again it will cost more to have it done right. Good luck!

Need a good detailer in the tri-state area to do my car as well. Lots of swirls in the clearcoat from some bad car washes and BMW service washes as well. Need a good sealant for the winter too =)
Anyone?

Maybe one of the detailers in the ny/nj/ct area could do a detailing clinic to help out with proper techniques????

+1 for that I'm too nervous to use a claybar half of the time.
