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.

Wow!!! He brought that thing back from the dead. Must have taken him 10 hours on the exterior alone. Those scratches and swirls were sever! Props to who ever he is!

Impressive. Looks like he wet sanded it with the Abralon. No wonder he got that mirror finish...

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.
