Ceramic done. Two step paint correction and then Kamikaze two step ceramic. Interior (Leatherique), ceramic on glass, engine detail, etc. The color almost looks different without the swirls and spiders.

I'd say it looks different. When I first saw the pics, I thought, he's detailing other peoples cars now! Totally different. Looks great.

Came out great Joe. How do you like the way the interior came after the leatherique treatment.

Ha! This picture is actually in his garage. They did a phenomenal job. Two guys that are passionate about BMWs and detailing. They do this on weekends. When I first saw it, I thought it was Mediterranean blue instead of carbon black metallic. It's amazing how much a polish and correction of the hazy swirly clear coat makes the color shine through.

I've done a leatherique treatment in the past myself years ago on my '93 740. It's phenomenal stuff, I used the "rejuvenator" way back when. I think they used it. Honestly I thought my interior was already pristine, but it's noticeably softer and the stuff just smells great.

Joe, do you have low dust pads on? Such as the EBC Red that the M5 guys like ? These pads throw an enormous amount of dust, but the EBC's are supposedly even better at gripping and produce a lot less dust.

I'm thinking of getting them put on just to help in keeping the wheels clean.

Those ceramic coated calipers you did look great. Probably will assist in keeping things clean and serviceable.

Hey Mark, I don't have those pads but I will definitely consider them when it's time. If it's true the grip isn't compromised, I'm all ears. I've stayed away from low dust pads in the past because I'd rather have performance over cosmetics.

I have used EBC's in the past and they are indeed less dusty than the BMW OEMs. A little more bite also.

After two weeks (250 miles later), my ceramic coated wheels w/ EBC Redstuff pads kept my front wheels fairly clean.

Believe it or not, my car here has a coat of pollen all over it, but with the newly applied ceramic coating, the shine overwhelms the pollen, plus there is not as much on it because it blew off on my way to the golf course! I snapped this picture with my buddies behind me getting their bags out and shoes on. They said, Why are you taking a picture, incase someone hits you when we are out there? LOL, I just laughed and said, no, I have issues. They aren't car guys.

Yeah, I think that's what they were thinking with the comments. Little do they know it was just one of the many walk away pictures on my phone.
