My car's 9th year birthday is next month (MY 2002, build date 11/01). I have owned it for 6 years; purchased at 20K miles, it now has 69K miles of trouble-free and enjoyable driving. Long-term members may recall previous detail posts. I have done all my cleaning and details myself as 1) I like doing it; and 2) there was no-one locally I could trust. The latter changed when board member AMP, who owns the shop I frequent, started a professional relationship with a high-end detailer from Scottsdale. AMP is a perfectionist, and if he trusts his M5/M3/550/530 to this detailer, that is good enough for me. Although I treat my car well with regular coats of Zaino, I am not as compulsive about the interior and small details. Accordingly, as a birthday present to my car, I had Sharp BodyZ (the name of the detail company) perform the full deal. As with recent details chronicled on the board, this was a seats-out, wheels-off full detail.
When I purchased my car, the only flaw was some wear on the driver's side bolster. I tried a few attempts at redying, but finally decided just to replace the bolster. It turned out great. Honestly, the car looks like it has just rolled off the assembly line. Some added benefits: all of this was done at AMP's shop, so my oil was changed while it was there (and yes, the level on the dipstick is PERFECT, unlike when I was going to the dealer). AMP also arranged for the upholstery shop to do the work on my bolster while it was in his shop. To top it off, AMP arranged for my rear tires to be replaced by his source at the same time, as I was tired of wheel damage by the local tire shops. Talk about one-stop shopping!
Enjoy.
