I guess I should be glad Shane doesn't live in Toronto... :D

A few weeks ago I got a PM from an e90post.com member asking me to recommend a detailer in New Brunswick. Of course Shane came to mind, but I didn't know if they were in driving distance; so I told the guy to contact Shane at least to get a recommendation. Turns out they live very close to eachother... Shane mentioned they had an appointment, and that was the last I heard until today.

Now, not a mark to be found. I had not seen a car up close with this level of detailing, but I'm truly amazed.

It looks "Wet" from 100 yards away ...

Very Happy ! Thanks for the name .. worked out very well.
Nice work Shane! Don't move to Ontario.

Haha, thanks Kevin I appreciate the referral. I still think it's such a small world considering that you referred David to me from e90post.

I actually went into work at 10:00 last night and was there until 6:00 am this morning for our network cutover to VoIP. I started David's Bimmer at 8:15 and worked on his car until approximately 4:00 this afternoon. Unfortunately, I have to go back into the office at midnight tonight to oversee a couple of odds and ends.

Anyways, here's a few pics of David's Bimmer. Such a sweet car. Even though it was only a few weeks old, it still had a fair amount of swirls and spider webbing.

After











And I even threw in an interior detail at no charge.




Thanks again for the referral Kevin, much appreciated buddy.

Black e92's can be a real nightmare to work on; you did an awesome job. Hang tight at work man.

Fine job eliminating the swirls, but now it has a reflection of a guy in a funny hat.

Nice job on a beauty car. How does the paint get that bad in 3 weeks?!?

Jet Black BMW paint is the softest most terrible paint to maintain that I've run across in over a decade of detailing.

I like black for one single reason.



It looks like a mirror when properly detailed.

I'm with you. My old M5 was a b-atch to keep shiny, especially as it was a daily driver.
