Ive just had my 335 detailed in a little over five years. The local car wash bods and washes at BMW dealer service had given the Tanzanite blue the swirls I didn't want. The fella has done a full machine polish and wax, Interior, Glass, wheels for £90
It feels and smells like a new car again

He knows we need pics and £90 seems quite reasonable

Its only the 335xd ! - I am going to get the Z done soon tho' - It's only ever had the dealer prep and an odd wax from new so it deserves a new coat of polish - Not that it has been neglected you understand - It is stored in a nice dry garage covered in two king sized cotton sheets thro the winter and overnight and only comes out April to October.
I thought £90 was ok as well. He didn't do under the bonnet but maybe Im expecting too much One thing for certain is that all the local hand car wash swirls have now gone - they were embarrassing in the sunshine.

That's actually quite a long time for a detail. I did mine over 3 days and thought that was a long time.
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman.

Tanzanite blue is a lovely colour when sparkly and swirl free.
I’d say £90.00 is a very good price.

These are the pictures that the detailer posted on his social media pages.
I‘m very pleased with the results - the car isn’t going to the local car wash bods again.

I have to say that this is the first car I’ve ever had professionally detailed - it won’t be last
I think I will have both cars done each year from now on.
The Z will probably be done before hibernation? Or should It be when it comes out I springtime?

Maybe If I try and curtail her spending on new clothes I might agree

She won't drive it either so its bloody great
