FMINUS Detailed: 2008 BMW 528i Montego Blue

This was a new car prep, wanted to try all Swissvax. Even though it was a new car, it was still full on contaminants and had light marring. Decal residue was also apparent on all the panels.

This just goes to show that even new cars need a good prep.

Nice job as always! On a side note, isn't that Monaco blue, not Montego?

Missed seeing a lot of our work. Glad you're posting again.

Great results as always, can't expect more.

BTW, did you need to your your PTG even though you were only removing light marrying from a new car, or was it for your records for the next time you detail it.

thanks, I use it for a couple of reasons, just because the car is new, it doesnt mean that mishaps didnt happen at the dealership. More often than not even "new" cars have repainted panels. I just do it as a precaution. And I also add it to my files for the next time!

nice to see another one of your details again. do you feel Mystery is worth the price over Concorso?

WaLLy350GT · 06-16-2008, 04:09 AM

Awesome job!!

I want to get both my cars detailed. Do you mind PM'ing me how much to detail an e46 M3? TIA.

nmcampbell · 06-16-2008, 04:59 PM

Awesome work, as usual, but this time on my wife's car. Your M5 looked great too....that is, until my wife scratched it backing out of the driveway. LOL, I'm kidding. Always good to see you. Get back to me when you can on those questions I had for you.

Diminishing returns is your answer.... Mystery is not 3 times better than COncorso, yet the price is almost that. Just like Vintage is not 4x better than Mystery, yet the price also dictates that. Each higher end wax adds a slight nuance to the finish. Whether its worth it or not, it depends on the buyer.
