Amazing job. Anyone know how much it would cost to get a detail like that?
I want the OptiCoat since I don't have time for detailing cars anymore... OP, I can drop the car off Monday and pick it up Sat after my vacation- but you're obviously not a starving student.

If you haven't done it yet, get coding. It makes the car so much better. tlp here can do it in Huntington Beach for cheap.

Great enthusiasm but this chick just invited every weirdo with an M3 to approach her if she is ever seen locally.... Not her fault. Just the way creeps are. And that, my friends..... is why we can't have nice things.

You're right, that's where my black belt will come in handy!

Yes Meguiars QD is definitely a good go to. I did have problems finding a balance between a clay that picked up bonded dirt and clay that gave a bunch of clay marring. Any suggestions? I know it can be removed with the polisher which is what you would use after, but that's not the case for little nooks and crannies.

Maybe try a heavier clay? It's a pain to deal with even medium but it gets a lot more sand out. I'm not to smart on clay though.

No no, I'm not confident enough to admit that this car is already more than what I can handle stock if I give it all the beans. At least for now...

Opti coat pro (better than my opti coat 2.0, which they don't make anymore as they replaced by opti gloss) with full paint correction (which is needed) costs around $600 I believe. Don't quote me on that though! And I'm definitely going to get around to coding. I'm still reading up on what exactly they do and which ones I should get.

Oh guys I just got weather tech floor matts and I like them a lot. But they do show dirtiness rather quickly, but can be cleaned really easy. They can be a tad slippery too depending on your shoe choice, which I imagine would be more of a problem for girls than guys. I'll get some pics tomorrow.

Well I was the first person promoting and posting about Shift Sector airstrip events on social media. And I posted about them right here on M3 Post. I have invited a lot of people to these events over the years. Guys girls whatever.

If you follow the events closely, Discovery and others are vying to make a reality TV show. They are looking for interesting personalities, particularly girl drivers. Having a fun personality and being a hottie may help

Welcome thanks for adding depth to this forum. It's great to see female enthusiasts

Your detailing skills are also very much noted - subscirbed

Tucking in has had no long term effects for me so far.
