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.
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!
