Sapphire Black 2013 BMW X1 Corrected & Opti Coated

[Thomas Dekany]

My first X1, really cool SUV. Not too big, but not too small.

The car was picked up 2 weeks ago and prior to delivery the cleaning department got their hands on it. I think after the detail, the finish looked a lot better. Customer seemed to be happy with the result!

When I arrived:

Very nice results. Great work.

What were your thoughts on the paint?

[Thomas Dekany]

Thank you Wors - I couldn`t tell you how many Sapphire Black BMWs I have detailed over the years, but it is my favorite color to polish out of the dark BMW colors. I still wouldn`t buy it though. No dark color for me.

Very nice work on the X1 but I feel a strong and overwhelming need to powerwash that concrete driveway. I`m so sad.

I am sure the owner wouldn`t mind if you did that. Are you local?

Thanks!!!

Great work Thomas...

[mjlinane]

[Ronkh]

Nice job.

Son got a 2013 335I same color.

A lot easier to do than my old jet black.

[Thomas Dekany]

Thank you all! Indeed it is a dream to work on this color, compared to JB.
