had my 330i detailed...

Swiller · 11-15-2009, 01:26 PM

Evening all.

Heres some pics of the car after a full paint correction detail from cambridge autogleam over the weekend.

These guys are serious about what they are doing. 2 of em spent 11hrs on the car. Complete professionals. Yes it cost a few quid, but the car is totally transformed.

The paint looks stunning , it is blemish free and corrected to 99% perfection. The engine bay, the interior, everything looks almost better than showroom.

For similar money, could have gone for a lip spoiler and some blacklines. But in the flesh i am gobsmacked at the results and happy with this "Mod".

Got this done as the intention was to sell it quite soon, but i am having second thoughts now.

Top bombing.

Looks lovely mate. Love those 162's.

Just need blacklines and your done!

ElegantSpoon · 11-15-2009, 02:07 PM

How much did it set you back? Looks great

Swiller · 11-15-2009, 02:15 PM

Cheers m8. You should get that dxb up there , doll her up a bit. I dont deny it is the fastest 3 series on the planet, but she needs a weekend in the spa innit.

rogerxp · 11-15-2009, 02:15 PM

Looks amazing

.

When you say it took two men 11 hours do you mean it took two men 5 1/2 hours working together or did it actually take 11 hours start to finish with 2 men working on it???

detailer down the bottom of my road did a Merc and it took him approx 2 days himself so this was probably 11 hours each.

BTW, looks stunning!

Cheers mate!

Where in cambs are they located?

Swiller · 11-15-2009, 02:37 PM

11 hrs = 2 men on it, so 22 hrs in total.
Cannot recommend em enough. True professionals, they take care of it like their own and only finish when its done. Regularly do carrera gts and lambos etc.
It wasnt cheap, but had the full monty paint correction/engine bay/interior, and they agreed to shampoo the roof/interior fabric free of charge (cos it was in good nick).
499 it was, but i reckon i will get that back when i flog it.
You should check the black e92 m3 in the portfolio of their website. That properly shows off the paint correction and the finish, which you cant really see on a silver car.

I had to drop off in over, so about a 20 min drive from centre of town.

ElegantSpoon · 11-15-2009, 02:38 PM

I would say thats a good price

Well worth it IMO

dxb335d · 11-15-2009, 02:40 PM

Looks fantastic, brand new in fact!

Hope you make your five big ones back when you sell it

jedi-knight83 · 11-16-2009, 07:36 AM

Hi Jim.. thanks for the kind words.. Hopefully it didn't get too dirty on the trip home (at least the weather was nicer on Sunday)

And yes it was 11 hours (9am - 8pm) with two guys working flat out the whole time so effectively 22 hrs working time

zltm089 · 11-16-2009, 05:09 PM

wow!!...thats clean!

COLSEN · 11-17-2009, 04:05 PM
