Can't argue with the products or the results, good job. BMW just has the nicest factory wheels, especially those, really set off the car well!

Looks great, love the contrast between the exterior and interior colors.

Also cant beat a hard top convertible, best of both worlds.

Thanks. It is a rare color combo and I had to see it in person before I was sold. Now I just love it. Cannot imagine a grey interior and black would be too hot. This combo is also great because the carpet and headliner are black.

After doing this same process with a dark blue and white BMW, this silver showed the least improvement/difference. The metallic silver really hides a lot of imperfections. It only has 4k miles and the clay was amazingly clean. Biggest areas are to be expected behind the tires...but oddly the bumper right at the trunk...it looked fine, but the clay picked up a ton of black and had to keep going over it with clean. One wheel was especially bad also (I clayed the wheels...).

Nice job, lookin good lookin good!

I am very jealous of that nice shade that tree gives your driveway. Must make detailing your vehicle in the early evening very convenient.

LOL. It was nice for final wipe down...but it was burning hot all afternoon, so I did this job in the garage (open door of course)
