Final Shots: I appreciate those who took the time to look through this extremely long thread. Thank you. :thud:
Man that thing was beat down bad. I think that may be the worst swirl job I've ever seen. Who was the previous detailer, Stevie Wonder....Great turn-a-round :applause2:
Each one of your writeups in more entertaining than the next. Truly outstanding level or correction and the final finish is off the charts! Great work!!!
One of BMW's best models ever IMO!! I love those E39 models...sweet. You make me want to trade my 540 for a M5, problem is, I can't find any in good shape.:thud:.oh well..a Porsche it is then:whistle::shrug: Wonderful work on that car. I like it's return to the real world!
Thanks man! I agree, this is the best sedan of all time. Thanks guys! Thanks! I love it too! Have two unopened pops left, this or Lusso Oro are my go to's :giggle: Thanks man! Thank you! Thank you for the kind words! I'm loving that Gloss-it backing plate the 3 inch one. Ever since I saw you using one I had to get it and I'm totally impressed! Thank you! :worship2: Fun cars to drive, I would love to own one but I hear they are expensive to maintain. I'll own BMW's for the rest of my life but Porsche > BMW always except E30 M3 Evo's hehe
