Did I miss what coating was used? I'm curious what you use on a matte paint.

The owner is pretty brave with the white interior. Not sure I could do that. I once got a loaner car from the dealer with white interior and didn't relax until I'd given them back the keys. I'm not a messy person, but was very afraid of something leaving a mark or spot.

Once thing I've noticed with some of BMW and Mercedes "frozen" paints is when it's an actual color and not black/gray/silver it has a very unique presence to it. It dosen't come across looking like primer or a bad rattle-can spray job like the monochrome colors often do. Hard to describe, but they are rather eye-catching.

Amazing car. The kind I'd love to take on a week long cross-country drive.

Nice work as always!

Those wheels look like a detailer's worst nightmare though!

Great Job.

Matte finishes are not my cup of tea. I really don't get the attraction. Sure, it may look cool/different at first blush but... no thanks.
