He's does a great job, the pics with the sun tell the tale.

Those reflection pics can pretty much be done with any clean car though.

I need to take more reflections pics. The sun pics he takes are really telling though; it's an excellent job. I just hate reflection pics.

I finished detailing an 8 year old Toyota Tundra last Saturday. Took me 6 hours on Wednesday and 8 hours on Saturday. I surprised myself.

He's in Chino Hills, CA. He posts quite a bit in M3forum.net and e46fanatics.com, too. His waiting list is very long. I called him last March and his first availability was August.
