To others considering using Phil for their car needs, I have to say I honestly couldn't be happier with the level of service Detailers Domain provided. I am absolutely thrilled with how the car came out.

Also, for anyone on the fence regarding the hard shell coatings, I can't sing praises for modesta enough. Phil recommended it and my car washing days now result in 90 minutes of time and a car that looks fresh to death--aka, looks like I committed 6 hours to a full detail.

Phil, thank you for taking the time to do this write up, once the car comes in for the winter put-away cleaning we can add some photos to this thread showing how the car looks today. Also, I ordered the mode lip yesterday--should I clear bra that?

Thanks again!

-a satisfied customer.

looks amazing. great job!!!

question...did you polish the areas that you protected before putting on the film? and also...did you use modesta on the xpel? TIA...

[Bmwguy11]

I can't use their services cuz I live in wisconsin, but I have definitely been buying a lot of detailing stuff from them.

I need to stop looking at the daily deals emails or my wife is going to kill me.

thank you very much! we have DIY coating available and more to come in the next month or so.

[Bmwguy11]

Sorry not daily deals I meant the newsletter. My brain thought one thing and typed another.

[Detailers Domain]

I guess that's a hint for a fall special, we will email them out soon LOL

[Sal@AUTOcouture]

Insane work as usual.

[Detailers Domain]

thank you sir how is the west treating you.

[Clark_Kent]

Top notch work as always Phil! I'll need to get in on that fall special.

[RocketBoots]

Looks amazing!

Another quick question for ya Phil: Do you (or can you) clay or autoscrub the Xpel? For later down the road...

I'm also waiting for a fall special

[Detailers Domain]

you can clay it but you most manufacturers will advise not to you just have to be careful not to scratch or break thru the film. you can use a fall out remover to remove the contaminants it does help.

[Detailers Domain]

thanks guys

[WinterScene]

Looks absolutely stunning. Very nice work. Little too far for me to drive though...darn.

[Detailers Domain]

thank you. there are a few really good guys in Texas that do this level of work, where are you located?

[rgrovr]

And to think I used to live 5min away from these guys in the next town over just before moving this past summer.

I'm making my way back up next month to prep the 335 for sale and back again when the M3 comes in Jan. Can't wait to see results.

that would be great let us know when you are ready.

[drexplode]

absolutely amazing work Phil! As a detail hobby enthusiast I am very impressed.

question (my apology if I missed it) - which lubricant do you use along with the Uber yellow poly clay? I typically use Pinnacle
