Default dsms detail- 18 hours and a 1991 BMW M5

This was my most enjoyable detail yet. 1991 BMW M5 w/ 60k miles. The only other person to touch this car is its owner, who is a very hands on, meticulous guy who demands perfection. I was told to take as much time as needed to get it perfect. Its spent plenty of time at the track and at one point or another was a daily driver. After spending a lot of time with this car I found it hard to believe its 16+ years old. Just in moving the car around the driveway and in an out of the garage I found the engine sounded incredible and throttle response was very crisp. Truly a timeless machine.

2 days and 18+ hours later she was finished.

They are more about function than form, not my favorite wheels either.
