Very shiney, very impressive, but..... how old was the car? how many miles had it done?
I'd be very impressed with a similar result on a 10 yr old 120,000 miler any examples? |

Mileage or age doesn't matter, it's the before & after that counts, which you can see in the pics. A new car can have a very poor paint finish, which we see a lot of, in the detailing forums Edited by ally |

I'll second that!! Menz IP on a Menz Compounding pad hasn't shifted completely (but has significantly reduced) some of the marks on my E60s clear coat. Marks are not deep enough to catch finger nail. |

A lot of dealer prepared cars are shocking to say the least, so much so that a lot of customers now ask the dealer not to prepare the car for them, as they usually make a mess of the paint work, plus all the industrial fallout & other stuff that is stuck to brand new cars would really surprise you, have a look at some of the brand new cars which get detailed on www.detailingworld.com, it's a real eye opener |

I specifically ask BMW not to wash my car when it is in for work. They washed it the first time even though I asked them specifically not too, so I wrote on the job sheet that you sign to say to start work. So that time they didn't wash it but instead badly vacuumed it instead! |
