Niiiiiice man you got another M, same color as my good friend's. Its called black but its really a deep deep blue right?

Was it in bad shape paint wise before you did your thing? Why the SIP? Also how do you like those ## interior products?

Damn all I can say is WOW, those shots you took are amazing, reflections like crazy. Car looks really clean man, congrats.

Its a metallic black, I guess it can kinda look blue?

The paint was in good condition but it had a lot of contaminates in it. I used the SIP because I needed it to cut FAST, since I only had a couple of hours to finish the car. And about the ## products? I have not used one I did not like yet, mostly everything of theirs is top notch. Their polishes can't hold a candle to Menzeran though, and Im going to do a comparison with their Carnauba spray wax vs Pinnacles Spray Wax (which I love).

Its has the ZCP package, larger cross drilled rotors, suspension, perf headers, alcantara sterring wheel, and Navi.

The ZCP package was not available when I got my Laguna, the ZCP wheels were added on a couple of years ago.

The 05 only has 15K miles on it, one of my old clients wanted to get rid of it because his new E90 M3 is on the way. The dealer said he would give him 36K, and he said screw it and sold it to me for 30K.

I will probably end up keeping the LSB and selling the CB, I have another car coming in Nov so I cant keep all these.

Very nice detail there buddy, oh and that is wicked having the wife helping you out. The vehicle is driping wet, has incredable reflection and th einterior is great. Love the stripes on the floor mats and leather boy does it ever look nice. Job well done there.

Question for you, what did you think of the Victoria Concours? Just wondering oh and what did you think of the Ricardo Clay bar?

Thanks for sharing your detail there...and congrats on the new ride...good price too, I can understand why you couldn't let it pass

just a question, but how much did that out door "tent" cost you? I want to have something like that for sunny day details. It's I think one of the best tools for washing anywhere.

Nice job! Gotta love black when it's freshly detailed. Nice acquisition too.

Are you going to spill the beans about the new ride or what? The suspense is killing me!

I got them BOTH for $100 together. I think its the wrong price, I looked online they were much more. I got them from Pepboys during a sale they had, I think they mislabeled it.

The legs are aluminum so they are really light and one person can put it up. Its also a real 10x10 coverage.

Even if the sun is not directly at noon, it still does not expose the car to sun.

WTF!!!!!!!!??????????? #$#%#^ 30K????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!! You did steal that thing, was that guy on something? One of those could easily sell for 40K. Thats probably the best deal on a car I have ever seen. My 325CI was 22k and it had 21,000 miles on it.

FMINUS, congrats on the new ride! And at $30K, that is indeed an absolute STEAL amongst STEALS!!! Where are you going to keep all these cars? Do you have some kind of remote storage or something?

Love all the products used, very nice detail!
