First off, I'd like to start by saying that this forum has been very good to me. You have all posted things that have been very helpful and the information that I've received from this community has been invaluable.
Now, onto the detail information. I had this car detailed about a year ago and was not very pleased with the results (I requested a full paint correction and received a short cut process that left me with swirl marks that were just covered up). This is not the first time I received a bad detail, it happened a few times when I had my e46 m3 also. I know some of you can be just as particular, if not as "anal" as I am about my car and the process it goes through when it comes to keeping it clean. That's why these sub par details were just not acceptable for my beast.
So, for the last 4 months, I have searched for a reliable, honest, and knowledgeable detailer. I have now finally found that detailer and he will be the only person touching my car for the rest of its life! His name is Eric and his company is called Envious Auto Detailing. I highly recommend Eric and I was so thrilled about his work, I had to share pictures!
