    hey guys,



    well Detailed 2 Perfection re-opened for the season. my buddy and i spent most of the day, saturday, on one of our clients 996 carrera 4s. not too bad. just washed her up, griotts clay (which i swear by now), klasse aio, s100 paste wax.



    here are some pictures:









    the following day, i decided to give my car "the treatment." this included a level 2 detail. i wish i had more time to give it a level 3. washed, clay bar, meg. medium cut cleaner applied with green pads on a dual cyclo machine and klasse aio. i wish i had extra time to apply some s100 paste wax but, the auto-x that day was callin` my name.



    question: what`s the difference between the s100 and s21 wax? i know the s100 is for the harley`s and s21 is for cars. but the shine i get with the s100 is insane! can the s21 be THAT much better?



    anyway, here are a couple pics of the m3 (gotta love that reflection):

    looks awesome.. for some reason it looks like your m3 has more OP than my camry... Guess price isn`t always quality... who knows...

    I agree with you on the Griots Clay. I once tried the Mother`s clay... it would stick all over the paint. Griots gets the job done:up

    You gotta love Avus Blue-such a nice color! And the car looks great by the way.

    The OP present is fairly typical of BMW finishes. I can tell you that earlier BMW`s made before the early-mid `90`s generally have a good bit less OP, but when BMW had to switch to more enviromentally friendly paint (which I believe they use a water based clear coat process) the finishes had more OP.



    But the actual overall quality of BMW`s finish is excellent, and I have found that the finish holds up better over time than others. So overall I tend to think you do get something for that price-not even taking into account they are just about the most fun to drive cars-period. :xyxthumbs

    Looks great! Love the unique picture angles.



    The S100 and P21S are exactly the same.

    Looks good but I think this thread should be in Click & Brag.



    S100 and P21S have different formulations despite the similar packaging.

    Both cars look GREAT!





    AIO/S100 seems to be a real killer combo for everyone who uses it .
