He claims he bought it in december of 2003. Looked much newer to me but what can I say except what he told me. This car will be a by monthly client. I think.

Great work!!!
I have a similar color BMW, OCW, is that the spray wax? How do you like it? Does it last long? Did it look good on the metallic grey?
Thanks,
Steve

How did SSR1 work with the blue pad? I was under the impression that the blue pad doesn`t have much bite, if any. Were the swirls really fine?

Excellent-the car looks wet!
BTW, maybe you should lay off the speed when taking interior shots? :LOLOL

Looks nice. I love the color.
Was this for a dealership or a private owner.
What happened to the rear license plate?

Thanks everyone!
SHICKS - Optimum Car Wax. I like it alot. To me, it looks good on every color that I`ve used it on. According to the company, it can last upto 6 months.
mrecktid - I couldn`t see any swirls. I used ssr1 to polish/clean the paint with the PC.
PS: On our 2000 toyota minivan, ssr2 and the blue propel pad removes most swirls. That is an ideal paint for detailers for sure. :D
Scottwax - Thanks Scott - It took like a second to take the picture and I guess I moved both times.
Here is another picture with the flash on. I know the about the break pedal :)

RickRack - Thanks! The place is called Martin Motorsports. BMW/Volvo shop. He refers me to all his clients. Private owner. (bmw). The owner of MM lets me detail there for free. I am very lucky to know Gary Martin.
I always take off the rear plate when I work on a car the first time. I polish/wax the area the same as the rest of the car. It was getting dark and my camera is defective I believe so I wanted to take a few pictures before it wasnt too late.

Sounds like a great deal you have going with the dealership. When I had my old shop, I did all the work for the local Porsche/Audi dealership and the local BMW dealership as well. It`s nice because they usually don`t mind paying a little extra as long as you do good work. That`s great he lets you use the shop too! Keep up the great work!

I am sorry, I miss lead you. It is a BMW/Volvo repair/tuning shop. Not a dealer. I set my own price. He gets no cut. I take care of his personal cars in exchange.
