    Sure! Bet a detailer would change a fortune for that level of work. I have done some of these things, but never to the level he took it.

    That looks a lot like how my detailer does my car when I want it done nicely.

    After the 15% BMWCCA discount he gives it's around $475 I think. He did put close to 24 hours in on my car when he last did it that nice. And it was no where near as dirty as the car in that thread. In fact it was cleaner to start with than most people keep their cars. And he still spent that many hours busting his ass cleaning everything on my car...

    Why not do most of it yourself? Not being critical, just wondering. That is is a lot of money if you have it done several times a year.

    BTW, your car deserves quality treatment as it is a very special car!

    well, that level of polishing should be done only a max of twice a year, and many us just don't have the time or investment made in the proper equipment to do that level of work.

    Fair enough. At this point, I enjoy detailing my car at about a 50% level. That may change as time goes on. I have owned the car for 5 years and have noticed that I find it a bit harder to wash and vac the car properly than I first did.
