My Ride: e36 318i manual convertible top, 5 speed manual, calypso red/black soft top, cassette am/fm radio, heated sand leatherette seats, michelin mxv4 allseason tires (100% stock)
e60 545i sport package, 6 speed manual, sapphire black, 18" 124 wheels bridgestone runflats (summer) 17" rial salerno dunlop runflats (winter) navigation, satelite radio, winter package, PDC, sunshades, wood trim, dakota leather seats (100% stock)
It's detail time again!! Can anyone recommend a good shop for minor paint chip and wheel road rash repairs near downtown Chicago? I considered buying a wheel paint pen and a $50 OEM color paint kit but I think a professional job would look better. Thanks.

Your last photo looks like bird poo, just simple rubbing alcohol would take care of it...
It's not bird poo. But it may be bird poo acid residue that left a "watermark" embedded in the paint. I know it sounds crazy but it really looks weird. In some light it's hardly visable. At other times, as in the photo, it sticks out! HELP!!!
