I keep seeing these ads on Facebook for hydrosilex, yadda yadda. I tried the F11 and it does make the car seem deeper, but it leaves a haze that takes considerable hand buffing with a microfiber to get the streaking off.
My detail guy is using DiamondX I think is the name, going to spend a good 4-5hrs on it polishing the light swirls out, then coat it.
Anyone else have it done? If so, what did you think?

Can't wait to see the pictures. Should be stunning.

Life's too short to drive boring cars --
- 1988 M6 (e24) - Zinnoberrot/Pearl Beige (sold )
- 1994 850 Ci (e31) - Orient Blue Metallic/LtSilverGray
- 2017 Porsche Macan - Night Blue Metallic
I saw the above car at SESF. it looked great! A couple of judges at the event commented on how much better Mike's car looked this year. I also had mine ceramic coated. It is an 18 year old repaint, but now looks amazing. If your choice of detailers is good, you will not be disappointed.

I just asked a detailer about doing mine yesterday, they want 800 to 1000 for the job? The trim on mine needs some kind of attention 1st then I'm all in for ceramic coating. Looks great from the pictures that were posted above.

I'll have to look into that... might negate the need for a full repaint.
Chillax: contact Presidential Automotive Detailing. they may not be the cheapest, but it will be way cheaper than a respray.
Wow. What shop did you use?
B’s Custom Detailing. They are on Facebook.

Thx BeanerBMW Will write that down!! Think they're like 20 minutes away. If the rain lets up will run over tomorrow. Think nose will need respray though. Clear coat is shot on the nose...

Sounds good to me!Maybe we could get a group buy somewhere? I saw a location for a guy in Signal Hill/ Costa Mesa?
(would love to find someone willing to do the same for a M73 swap too...)
Lookup Showcarperfection.com in Anaheim Hills. I used them about 3 years ago and they are awesome. This before and after picture shows his great work with paint correction....the car wash is not good for your paint.
