It was a nice day today so I decided to wash my bimmer and thought I'd post a picture of it for the first time on this forum. However, the camera flash really exposes the massive swirl marks. Anyone know of a good detailer in the Wash. D.C/MD/VA area?

Thanks!

use sheep-skin (chamios) to dry your car. new chamios need to soak in water for days to remove some oil or chemicals.

if it's scratched already then you need to wax it.

just never wash your car without rinsing it with high pressure water first. you don't want to rub it with dirts or sands right?

is that your E30 M3?

Visit Autopia. There's lot of great samples on the Click&Brag section to look for a good detailer.
Sorry I can't give any more accurate info on this, since I don't live in US

ps. your car looks great
