2008 BMW 335i Black Sapphire Metallic revival (Picture heavy)
Todays detail was an absolute beauty! Packed under the Black Sapphire Metallic paint is 300 Ponies, 300 torque ft/lbs twin turbo’d! The interior red leather in contrast with the black is absolutely stunning. The roof collapses down and tucks away into the trunk with a click of a button.
Unfortunately the paint was in horrible shape as it only gets a wash every two months or so buy her younger sister (Who supposedly does a 'pretty good' job)
Underneath the hood clear bra was etched in somethin that I couldn't get off. It appeared to be under the clear bra since I was able to remove the swirls off it, but whatever was under it remained no matter what I did.
She was so happy with the results that she wants to rock my decal and will be returning for bi-triweekly washes
Total time is about 9 hours

Great job Johnny! Have you ever tried Einszett Cockpit Premium? It's amazing stuff, just slightly better than Meg's Quik Interior Detailer. Those two are by far my favorite for wiping down the interiors.
