Looks great! As usual.

Can you help to find a place in Upstate NY that will do quality work?

I doubt you would know anyone in the Rochester NY area, but is there anything to look for or to ask when looking for a detailer?

I have a friend that had his Audi detailed and it looked like they used sandpaper on it after it was done! No kidding! He's still trying to figure out how to get it repaired.

I have Dawned and waxed my car last summer, wash it regularly and spot detail, and will clay it this summer, but it's always nice to have a once a year complete detail.

THanks!

You need to find someone that does "Paint Perfection", not just detailing. There's a BIG difference. Be aware though, the cost is 4-5 times the cost of your average detail, but the work that's involved in doing a job like this is VERY time consuming and requires an insane amount of prep and work. However, the results speak for themself.

Nice job FMINUS! And nice M5. Who does that belong to on M5Board?
