Okay, that does qualify as expensive.

+2 for Phil.

And I'd be down for a meet there. I need to see him anyway so he can fix the damage my dealer did after I got the car reflashed.

i have a white car, so the effects of the proper prep is really not worth it compared to a dark color... I use NXT 2.0 3 or so times a year, and my car looks comparable to my e92 (also in AW) that I zainod regularly.

yea he is expensive, but if you have a dark color, I would make certain the paint was getting sealed correctly shortly after delivery. To do the first prep correctly, you are talking about 8-10 hours of work... If you had to buy all the polishes and tools needed for the job, you would be around $100-$200, factor in the value of your time, and you are in the ballpark.

I love cleaning my car, and the only time I ever paid a professional was when I owned a black accord years ago that would swirl up if you looked at it the wrong way. Never again with a black car, unless of course I had a garage and it wasnt a daily driver.

Why not give Phil at Detailer's Domain a call? I think he is located close to the top right corner of NJ close to the NY border. He's a sponser here and he never fails to impress me with his detailing posts/threads.

http://detailersdomain.com/

Or you can PM Phil: DetailersDomain

Here is one of Phil paint correction threads. He works on all makes of cars. But I think he does alot of German markes.

I second this. He offers really good service and he knows what he's doing. Also, he isn't as expensive as the quotes given above.
