    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:

    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
