Great pics Ricky. MY cars never looked better. Thanks for the great work. If anyone needs detailer in Southern Cal, Ricky is the man. He spent 9+ hours on my new M3.

How did you get those beautiful pipes?

Those tail pipes look especially nice...what tool/chemicals did you use to clean the inside of the exhaust pipe?

great detail job.

How much would a 9 hour detail cost?

My bad if I am not supposed to ask.
