Cheers!

Sick, I need to find a Pro-detailer in the Doylestown/Philly area :(

wow great job!

Thats sick! How much would that cost to have that done professionally? Just curious.

WOW what a difference

What is SSR?

Hey hey hey! Bimmer forums, don't bring that Beautiful Benz here! Haha, jk, great job, I just got ahold of a pc for $100 on ebay, so I'll have to post some pics of that pretty soon. I actually thought about an E-class, and still am after my E90 purchase.

A multi step polish job can cost anywhere from 150 to 400 or so depending on your area and the detailer. Most of the time it is about 200-250.

What is SSR?

SSR stands for Super Swirl Remover and it is made by Poorboy's. The number denotes the strength with 1 being the lest abrasive, then there is 2, 2.5, and 3 which is the most abrasive. The whole line can be found at autogeek.net Personally I think there are better polishes out there, since this one dusts a little more than I like.

Beautiful! Makes me wish I had a garage... I'd have gotten my e39 in black instead of titanium silver if I didn't need to park outdoors.
