Fabulous depth and shine..great attention to all the little details.

I wont argue the result.. only the process to how they got there. And hopefully prevent anyone on here from ruining their paint!
Because I was a little taken back with someone using meguires #105 on that new of a car.. its literally designed to polish out a 1200grit sandpapering. And if you go look at the autopia site where this was posted at, the car had some bad areas on it, but hopefully not requiring using #105 on the whole car just in spots.
Meguires list the #105 as a 12 on a scale of 1-12 for abrasiveness especially since they used steel wool, thereby the detailer took a LOT of clear coat off that car!

That was totally unnecessary unless the car really really really needed it.. which is debateable.

I don't think I have never used more than a #66 unless the car was heavily oxidized, scratched and swirled, and then I would see what an #82 or #83 does first before going to 85,95, or 105..

I get all my stuff from www.autogeek.net

it would be nice to see the car with regular camera settings. that is just cheeseball to boast about a detail, then show non-traditional camera setting photos. i could make a picture of my dogs turd shiny with my camera.

Well, if you click on the link to view the original post you will see 80 regular camera setting photos of a very thorough detailing process ... with only a few "cheeseball" non-traditional photos at the end. I chose to show a couple of the HDRs here because I thought they showed off the M5 really well, in addition to the stunning regular photos. Go take a look for yourself.
