very nice Kevin. The pics don't do it justice. I thought the whole time when you said "SG" you meant Space Gray. Congrats!

Hey here's a funny story. I didn't want to make a new thread but it's worth sharing. So a guy who works at a local BMW dealership just contacted me and is "looking to use you to detail my new car instead of our in house detail department". Classic!

Oh, I debadged the car and put in aluminum pedals last night. I'll post some more pics once the tint/clear bra is on.

Well when a person does as good a job as you do Kevin, that doesn't surprise me one bit.

Great story. I have a similiar one with a dealer client who called us to "quality control" their detailers and assist with a few interior issues on a new car. The customer refused to accept the initial delivery condition of the vehicle.

Keep the pics coming.

Hey, actually I have been in contact with a Corvette dealer who is going to use me for "special clients", guys who he is giving a gift or who are unsatisfied with their initial prep. I thought it was a cool idea.

I'm waiting on the stupid side-marker deletes before I can clear bra/tint. As soon as I do I will have pics STAT!

Now that would be a gift any real car guy would appreciate.

G/L with the clear bra and tint.

Hey Kevin... did you find pre-painted marker deletes?
I can't find any for the Z4.
I may have to buy some OEMs & paint them.

Longtran on e90post is selling them, $85 for a pair. I was quoted $100 to paint them locally so I figured why not. Maybe shoot him a PM on e90post to see if he can do some Z4M ones too?

Thanks.

I don't think I need to worry about being sorry when the new G coupe comes out.
