A great customer came to us with his "NEW" to him BMW M5 e39 - it was mechanically in great condition and to the best of his knowledge at pick up was "Detailed". After a couple of washes he was a bit surprised to see how his "NEW" car looked. He called us up and we were brought on to fix all the dealers mistakes.



Subject: BMW M5

Requirement: Customer requested to fix his paint on his new to him M5. Glaze when used under the wrong hands is just not good.
