    DetailersDomain.com preps a BMW 135i for sale with Auto Finesse. This was a good customer of ours that came to us 2 years ago to prep his car for Opti Coat as well as PPF installation. He has been coming back to maintain the car over the last 2 years.
    He decided that it was time to move on and sell his pride and joy. On this write up we felt it was a good time to highlight a lot of the Auto Finesse Products.

    its slated for late May delivery.

    since we dropped prices we had to get product in by boat it's a much longer process.
    trust me we are dying for more in the shop as well.
