Oh man, it looks great!
The clean makes a massive difference - seats looks like new again.

I love the M performance matts!

After having done this all yourself and considering the time it took and the equipment and products one would need to purchase.
Would you do it again or rather take the car to be detailed and would you advise someone to do it themselves or take the car to be detailed and cleaned by someone else?

For me personally, I enjoy this sort of thing. I enjoy putting in the work and enjoying the fruits of my own labour. I would do it again and for anyone that is the same way inclined as me I would advise the same to. If one does not enjoy this sort of thing, send it in to someone - its A LOT of work.

Great work and attention to detail bud!
The new rims and those tailights look amazing on the mineral grey, really makes your F30 stand out from the rest.

Quick share - took the car for a premium wash at Precision Glaze this morning - pretty happy with the results. Wish there was a quality shop closer to me in the East Rand where I know the coating on the car won't be washed off etc. Especially for the times where I just don't have the time to wash the car myself.

Your car looks great, I am fortunate that Precision Glaze is just down the road from me and even closer to my work.
Have heard only good things about them and will certainly consider making use of them.

Do it. Prash's work is fantastic. Having been in the detailing business myself many years ago, I am very happy with the quality of work by Prash and team Precision Glaze.

@Salt Car looks lovely!

Thanks. Yes was after them for a while...and they have a wide offset so the rears especially sit better imo. Can do with a drop but worried about practicality.

Just a small update for the record Car was serviced at ABM last week, and also had the rear diff oil service done at the same time as preventative maintenance. Happy about that one as its been on my list to do for the year so got it done.

Went for a chow at Zwartkops raceway last weekend - pic below is from there.
