Paint correction plus ceramic coating is the way to go specially for dark cars, that with regular washes using a foam cannon and/or 2 bucket method along with drying with a leaf blower / metro vac, is totally worth it.

Also does help if the car is garaged regularly.

The paint on this car reminds me of the paint on the E36 M3. I did a paint correction myself using the Einzett 5 step with multiple pads and my porter cable. After a few washes (2 bucket method and I have a water deionizer so no towels) and it has light scratches again in direct sun. I can tell right now that it'll be more damage control than permanent fix.

It does look amazing!!!

Steve @ Showroom FX. He rents a garage at Green Planet Carwash. He's been in the industry for a long time. He's extremely well known in the business and one of the top detailers in DFW.

Give him a call and go check him out (972) 743-9443, if he doesn't answer, text him. He's a one man show so he may be with a customer. Also, he won't quote a detail until he sees the car and how much work is needed. He is very fair in his pricing. Just drive by there and ask for Steve @ Showroom.

I promise, you won't be disappointed and honestly, you'll never go to anyone else after you have one of his hand washes or details. His hand wash always made my car shine like no other. His attention to detail is impeccable. He only does hand washes and on my M5 he ran about $40-50 depending on how dirty it was.
