While I have taken good care of my 330i and do my own hand washing and detailing, over the past 4 years I have noticed defects in the paint that I just cannot removed on my own. My limit is washing, claying, hand polishing and sealants/waxes. When I pull out the halogen light and look at my paint, I see all kinds of imperfections from water spots to cloudy paint to hazing and swirls. To the casual eye, the car looks good but I wanted to really have the paint reconditioned to remove the defects and have the paint corrected. I saw some posts by Ricky Lee and noticed his attention to detail was what I was looking for. Ricky was great to work with, offers reasonable pricing and does excellent work. Because the fires here in LA are causing the skies to get all hazy, I took some photos inside my garage. While I don't have before photos, believe me when I say that Ricky perfomed magic on the paint and under hood area. My interior was immaculate so it just needed a quick wipe down and some 303. To reach Ricky, you can email him at concoursfinish@gmail.com. He works in the Pasadena and La Jolla area.
