I've owned my 1971 BMW 2800cs for around 15 years now. It's in really great shape but I haven't given it a good detail in years. My options for detailing run from $200 for a clay bar and spray on ceramic coating that is supposed to last two years, to $1,4...  

Looks a lot like Castle Pines Village. I have worked on many homes and stone projects in that neighborhood over 30 years.

I woul wash it myself by hand and get someone just to give it a light polish afterwards.

...that will Clay Bar and Ceramic for $200 that's as far as I would go. You will have a car that presents well and you won't worry about driving and parking it. The next owner can decide if they want a driver, a show car or a concours quality resto. Just ...

…redo it every so often. That’s the extent of my knowledge. Sorry.

time or the inclination a ceramic coating is ok as long as they realize it's not a one time and done product (which has never existed). No matter what program you choose keeping a car looking great and protecting its finish will take some time and effort.... 

Little help but that’s what I’ve been told. Just use regular high quality wax and keep it away from the sun. That’s a beautiful car. Years ago I knew a guy who had that model BMW in white and white red and blue thin stripes along the car. He was short and... 

Say if you will keep it for at least 2 years, I would suggest to go for the paint correction and ceramic coating by the pros if you are not a DIY type. It takes a long time to just clay bar and condition to get it ready for waxing and coating and you will... 

That’s a beautiful car. I am happy with the PPF and ceramic coating work that Dillon at Dynamic Detailing ( https://dynamicdetailingchicago.com ) did. We’re working on a new car for my wife and I’ll have him do ceramic on that too. The other top tier loca...
