I had the car detailed over the weekend. Though only about 6 months old, there were many minor imperfections - swirls, skuffs, and a key mark - so I decided to get it done despite the snow on the ground. I found a very local detailer (around the corner) on autopia.org.
Had the entire car done, inside and out, including multi-step exterior:
Optimum No Rinse Wash
- Zaino Z18 Clay with Z6 as lube
- Menzerna SIP and cutting pad @ 1500
- Zaino Z-PC and polishing pad @ 1200
- Zaino Z-PC and polishing pad @ 6 (to clean up light rotary haze)
- Zaino Z6 wipedown
- Zaino Z5 Pro (ZFX'd)
- FK1 425 final wipedown
- Zaino Z16 on tires
- CG Silk Shine in wells
A truly first class job. Highly recommended for anyone in or near Westchester County, NY. Here is a link to his web site. http://www.detailingtechnology.com/

Outstanding looking! The snow just sets off the shine of the E60.Prices start at $425? But it's worth it, ain't it?
You should keep some Zaino around for monthly re-sealing yourself, if you don't already have some. It's great stuff.
