Hello all,

Okay I'm sorry if I seem really ignorant here, but I just wanted to know your opinions on detailing my car. Have 2004 525i orient blue, and I want to take it to a good detailing place in town but most so called "experts" that I talk to tell me stay away from detailers. They say since my car is new, detailing isn't neccessary. Here is the local detailing place that I want to take it to:

www.carprettymodesto.com

Please look over this site and tell me what you think. I called them up to ask about a concern I had regarding buffing, they said when buffing they do not take a layer of paint off like most detailers do.

Thanks all.

Firstly, welcome to E60 Forums !

Secondly, you will most likely find answers about detailing in the "Detailing Forum".

That place looks freaking ghetto. If I were to spend $200-$500 on a detail, I'd find a place like these:
www.daytonacosmocars.com
www.technik1.com
www.detailingdynamics.com
www.premiermobilegroup.com

Ask them what process they use to polish and finish the paint.

I don't know how others feel but a brand new car needs protection. Look at their work in critical sunlight and see if you can see any of the very fine scratches you get from washing and drying the car. There should be none if they are doing a good job.
