LeMans Blue 335i Sedan Detailed

Just wanted to share some photos of my 335i after a thorough detailing. These photos were taken this summer. Mike Shumaker of Driven Auto Detail did all the work and man was I impressed by it. He's a first-class act and his results speak for themselves. Hands down the best detailing services in the Indianapolis area. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Looks pretty nice, took all the time to get all the brake dust off those wheels even all the way back to the very inner edge of the barrel. He must be a class act.

Sorry if this is a little of a thread jack, but how does Megs QID compare to 1Z Cockpit?

The amount of care you put into your car shows, big time Andrew. It's always a pleasure to work on it.

By the way, here's the rundown of what I did on Andrew's car in case anyone was wondering:

Stage I Exterior
Washed with Optimum No Rinse (ONR)
Decontamination with Meg's mild blue clay
Polished & sealed with Griot's Garage 1-step sealant on the GG Dual-Action polisher with an orange cutting pad
Optimum Opti-Bond 1:1 to treat the tires
AA in the fenderwells
Duragloss AquaWax to protect the wheels
Optimum Metal Polish on #0000 steel wool to clean, polish & seal the exhaust tips

Thanks! You may not be the only one but you may be in the minority. Whatever you feel works best though!

Love the ONR. Convenient. Thanks again for that sample.
