If of interest just had a two day professional detail carried out on my 1M Coupe. Amazing what can be achieved by professional detailing companies. I just need to try and keep it like this now! Many thanks to Tim at Envy Valeting for working his magic....

Benefits should last a long time, will just it get it topped up every 6-12 months or when needs doing. Finish is much better than when I picked it up new, nice to get a once over done when the car is more or less new. Cost was very reasonable considering two full days work and materials - don't want to quote Tim's prices - google Envy Valeting and give him a call if of interest..... Cheers

you realise it is now in better condition than when the car was delivered to you?

it's amazing how many cars that come off the transporter from the vehicle distribution centre need to go through a mop as part of the pdi... and of course a £100 internal mop at a dealer aint nothing like what your car has just gone through!

Great stuff that is such a nice looking car.

Very tempted to treat the CS to this before the summer smile I wonder if they fix stone chips.

1M looks great in black, need to get the wheels off my VO and give it a good clean inside the arches.

The work was done just next to a local Ferrari, Lambo, Maser specialist in Poole, they normally have some very tasty metal - it's like a big toy shop with some lovely classic cars!!

The car looked good when I picked it up new, but the main dealer must sell a lot of cars, so I guess each one gets very little preparation time. I didn't check but my guess there were swirl marks on the paintwork when it was new. Envy's work is almost like having an artist work on your car (sorry I know sounds corny!) but the finish now is as good as it gets - really nice to have the car looking it's absolute best. Loving the car, it's so much fun and still puts a big smile on my face when driven hard - it's just so quick and a lovely place to spend time!!

I'm sure VO would look the nuts when fully detailed - lovely colour, wish I had been a bit braver and gone for VO but pleased with the black..... Cheers...
