Car Detail write up - BMW 330D: Sapphire Black Metallic

Hey Guys

Recently had the car detailed by an old friend of mine that ditched the daily grind to follow his passion and detail cars.

He has done a quick little write up with some really good before & after pictures, which show of the paint correction and final results, here;

http://www.detailparadise.com.au/sho...Black-Metallic

It was a two day process for him which involved cleaning, paint correction and coating with opticoat pro.

Was really impressed with how the car came up, even a couple of weeks on after not being cleaned, being in the rain and getting dirty the car is still beading water like crazy and coming up clean.

I have always been a sucker for a well cleaned/detailed car so i felt getting it professionally detailed was a must.

Was good to know the car was in the hands of someone who is not only a car enthusiast but also took to the detailing as more of a hobby than just another job.

Cheers

Hey Mate,

Not going to mislead anyone, it wasn't cheap! However, i know his prices have changed slightly since i first booked my car in so i would recommend contacting him directly - details at the bottom of the link above.

looks stunning dude!!

I kinda miss having a black car, they look so great after a detail albeit even a few hrs into a detail you see fine dust settling on the car... That's why I love space grey, it hides paint defects quite well
