    You missed the headlights...
    Hell, I dropped my car off at the body shop and they had a big posteter advertising "headlight renewal" for only $74.99/pr....I'm sure you could offer that 'service' for half that price...


    Poor car...great job on that!

    I even said something to him about the headlights but he figured he would wait until next time. But yeah $75 is a complete rip off. I charge anywhere from $40-60/set.

    Looks good mike. What was your 1 step? I always considered bmw paint hard, but if you can get results like that with a 1 step, damn.

    Thats not a bad price. I had a friend come to me one day telling me a body shop wanted to charge him $180 to renew his lights, and that it didnt include any type of follow up service. Talk about jaw dropping

    BTW: just saw your thread, that KBM method is fun with m105, but its a bitch if you dont wipe up the stuff right after. Lets just put it this way, there were a few panels i had to use diluted thinner to get it off cause alcohol and even going over it again didnt help.

    But then again i was using a Surbuf pad. Do you notice much clogging with the lc pad?

    Shit, i guess im just beat, i thought you were using m105, but you were using menzerna.
