Mobile-Detailing in the GTA

picus · 10-23-2007, 06:17 PM

Of course. I've been up to my ears in BMW's lately, it's great. I actually finally washed mine yesterday too (and it rains today, heh); found a little gash on it which is a bummer, but it's looking good.

I'm selling my exhaust too btw, if anyone wants it. I've driven like 30 of you around with it on, and everyone but me loves it.

picus · 10-23-2007, 08:29 PM

Good question, probably $1200... so like $300 off msrp and of course you don't have to ship or pay duty. It's still mint of course.

Thanks.

picus · 10-24-2007, 09:33 PM

Oh I see how it is.

Picus,

what products do you would use to detail a new bmw in Sapphire Black color. I have minor scatches on the hood and i ordered a PC buffer. Please advise on what pads to use with what products you would use to maintain the shine. Thanks.

FWIW guys, it's time to get the cars sealed for winter. Average temp is below 10C now.

Yep, I know. I haven't forgotten about you my man! The pad is poured, so we're in the home stretch now.

Nevermind Picus, i just read the rest of your detailing tips

jooology · 10-29-2007, 09:29 PM

Hi Picus,

I got one question, would you top off Z5 with a carnuba wax product? Would it make it look paint wetter on a saphire black car?

picus · 10-29-2007, 10:59 PM

It might, but I don't think I'd do it right before winter. I think right now I would put on 2 layers of Z5pro for coverage and then wait until spring to re-apply Zaino, then top with a wax.

selmar · 10-29-2007, 11:54 PM

Hey Kevin,

Someone hit my hood with something and put a dent and gouge in the paint. About 1.5 cm long and 3 mm wide. Have no idea who or where. Just noticed it yesterday. Damn! Again!

Was planning on washing the car, drying well, and touch up paint. Anything else before winter sets in?

Thanks.
