Congrats on the new ride. I'm having my four year old F80 detailed by these guys in a couple weeks. I'll report back

+1. Chicago Auto Pros is a solid choice, but it's a big outfit so it charges more. I did a full wrap on my 18' F80 and CAP quoted $7K whereas Lustr charged me $5.5K. The other difference is that CAP is XPel whereas Lustr is Suntek. I think the two products are interchangeable and some believe Suntek is superior. Can't really go wrong with either installer.

Just got my car back from Luminescent. Car looks awesome. First time it has been polished.

Here's what they did:

Foam pre wash, two bucket method deep clean
De-ionized spot free rinse
Touch-less air dry
Complete vehicle degreasing (Rubber, vinyl, trim and wheels)
Muffler cream
Car Pro Iron X fallout removal
Clay bar paint decontamination
One stage polish
Jescar Power Lock Polymer Paint Sealant
Tires dressed
Interior clean
Window deep clean
