As a new member of E60 Forums, I would like to give you a full introduction and brief summary of my qualifications. In short, I have a passion for detailing like others do for fine wine, woodworking, or music. This is what I live and breathe. It stands to reason, then, I might know what I am talking about.
My business, Apollo Detailing, has been around for nearly two full seasons now. For the most part, we concentrate on paint correction. Paint correction, briefly, is the process by which defects, swirls, and scratches are removed from the paint.
This is an example of a panel that has received paint correction. Note the vast difference between the corrected and the uncorrected sides.
Here are a few examples of my work:
Picus & Holden_C04 - Polishing Perfection - Autopia.org
Apollo Detailing: 2007 Porsche Cayman S (35+ Photos) - Autopia.org
2006 Volkswagen GTI (56k = :hairpull) - Autopia.org
Apollo Detailing: Full Correction Imola Red '05 BMW 330ci ZHP - Autopia.org
Apollo Detailing: 14hr Correction! Black 2001 BMW 540i - Autopia.org
I hope to be a helpful contributor to this forum. Now, feel free to ask any question you like. I have yet to be stumped.

i have a quick question. what do you use to clean the roof of a Z4 convertible? i got a friend who wants a car wash, but i'm afraid to put my soap to her roof and take off any sealant or special coating it may have.

This is for paint perfection, not a rub-n-tug wax job slick.
On a serious not.. I'll try him out when I get back from St.Maarten and let everyone know how it works out!
