Great find! I just might pick up another!

BTW, the gauge is around $700. I also just ordered another one thats $2300
Dude, when are you coming to the east coast. I'm going to have to take my 5 to Detailing Dynamics out in long Island to get these clay scuff marks out!! I might as well wait for my M-tech kit and have a clear bra installed.

+1 my black saphire looks just like that 1 before you detailed it. cant really find anyone i trust down here to give it a good detailing. maybe some of us down here should chip in and fly you in for a weekend of detaing that would be cool.

Detailing Dynamics is the best. Be ready to drop $600-$700 on the exterior detail alone. I believe their rates are currently $65/hour and the avg job takes around 8-12 hours....and that's just the exterior. However, your car will look like new. EVERY swirl, scratch and imperfection will be gone. I've seen their work. It's an art form for sure.

That's correct! Already spoke with Matt Zakarian at Detailing Dynamics. After I have the Mtech kit, M5 trunk spoiler, and trunk finisher installed, I'll have them "Dynamic" detail my vehilce and then add a clear bra. Once that's done keeping it maintained won't be difficult.
I know you all like to be frugal when you shop mods for the vehicles, but I believe you pay for what you get. I don't mind shelling out the $$$$ as long as the benefits are reaped!
