JBone will be the guy who knows a lot about this...I think he orders from detailed image? I had a SGM E90 and last fall took it to Showcar Steve who did an awesome job with it...good prices too maybe another option to consider.

Can set up to drop of either at Round Lake or in Skokie, or he can arrange to come to you. He also has a loaner vehicle.

Been my fav's so far. Overall, very happy with the stuff from chemical guys (CG). You can order from them or from detailed image. George is the guy over there and very helpful.

If you don't need a paint correction, you will be fine with these products and some clay. Do this twice a year, use proper washing tech, and you will be set. Had my other car for over 3 years, well over 150 washes including during the winter and was good.
