Hello fellow forum members, I recently detailed a member's jet black 545i equipped with M5 wheels. The paint was in awful condition and was in serious need of clean up. I was about to correct about 90% of the paint due to deep deep scratches, but in the end, everything turned out well. Let me know what you think and thank you for looking!

Isn't black a total labor of love? I literally have to "touch it up" every other day from dust and crap. Its so awesome but so hard to care for. I think Alpine White will be my next color.

You forgot to armor-all inside the wheel wells...a necessary final touch. 
All else looks great.

Tylor, you did an awesome job. Thank you.
Anyone needs detailing in Bay Area - I highly recommend M Cube, he knows what he's doing and the results are great.
