Just had her detailed... and wow!

TodmordenLad · 12-22-2017, 03:29 AM

The dealership made a pig's ear of my 4GC when they prep'd it so I had her detailed, picking her up yesterday. It was a dull, overcast day so the outside pics don't do it justice.
Here's a couple taken under lights in the detailer's garage, however. He took almost 100 pictures of the process and I can't believe how many imperfections he removed in preparing the topcoat for the coating. He applied Kamikaze ISM Pro on the paintwork, which he swears by. Really brings out the shine and the colour under lights

Looks beautiful!

vgore · 12-22-2017, 06:59 AM

Looks amazing and that is my favorite color too

JG_Coupe88 · 12-22-2017, 08:01 AM

Wow! Gorgeous! I have my full detail on my BSM 428i scheduled so I'm excited to see how that comes out!

wilbur_the_goose · 12-22-2017, 08:20 AM

How much? Looks like he did a fantastic job!

Canadian eh! · 12-22-2017, 08:51 AM

That looks great! It is amazing how many ham handed dealers cause these issues that need to be rectified after the fact!

Great looking job!

Glad you like it - Ivory White with Carbon Alu trim. Works well with the dark exterior

Spectacular!

Not too expensive, and thanks. He operates on his own and works out of his own home garage

Looking sharp! Congrats on a very nice looking car!

Calvin36 · 12-22-2017, 11:04 PM

Love the color! Need to find a good place to do a full detail in the Bay Area that doesn't charge an arm and a leg.

Looks great!!
