Tristan 338 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Here's the full write-up: http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/show...ad.php?t=316871 Incredible but not sure I could ever pay that much for a detail, especially when it says in the thread that it's daily driven!

bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 I like how in that picture above has dirty windows. Or was that a separate cost? Haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 I like how in that picture above has dirty windows. Or was that a separate cost? Haha Ha, hadn't noticed that - There was another photo where the guy was using a rotary on the windscreen... Side windows extra. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimmer boy 21 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Yeah I just noticed that while looking at the other pictures guess they were midway doing the window coating. Pretty funny considering I just found all my bottles of GardX window coating Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 I'll say it again, nothing beats a clean black car. Drive it for an hour and it's all over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Drive it for an hour and it's all over Lols - trailer it for a hour on the open road & it'll all be over too. Impressive end result though.......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 Should have just brought a white one, they look way better in white IMHO, that grey has got to be the most uninspiring colour I have seen on a 1M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) I'd have sold the car and traded it for another one of lower km and better condition - I bet it would have cost less too. I find "expensive" detailing utterly pointless on an ordinary car .... now if that was a McLaren F1 or a Ferrari GTO then I can understand, but seriously a 1M ... I guess when money no object it makes sense and does wonders for the economy : ) Edited August 25, 2013 by M3_Power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil-540i 166 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 I agree Tom - might as well stand in the shower & rip up $100 notes - pointless exercise really.........I'm all for keeping stuff clean & tidy, but lets not get silly about it....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSET 580 Report post Posted August 25, 2013 One more in agreement here. I just spent the better part of a day working on a family member's 2CV; it's nowhere near as good as the above in terms of finish quality, but it's something I can be proud of. That's what matters to me; I would find it hard to be as proud of a paint finish that has been produced by someone else. Before: After: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingkarl 136 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 The paint on my 250+km e34 is better than what that 1M's started out as haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I would hope if money was no object you wouldn't be driving a 1M... Haha The 1M is fantastic. You could spend three times as much on a worse car, or half as much on a car that is just as good. Not everyone needs a $10,000 hand bag to show they have money Edited August 26, 2013 by apex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
