I agree, do it yourself. BUT, if you really want it factory then use Perfection who detail my rangey, they really are awesome. I made the mistake of taking it to a hand car wash when it was about 6 months old. When I put it in the garage that night it was fucked, scratched all over. Richard and Tom Mopped it and used all sorts of funky polishes on it and it came up better than new. The black paint was literally like glass.

They do charge a bit tho as their tubs of polish cost about

Thats what I always thought, my M3 and 350Z before this were black and it didn't last but i never had them detailed and didn't use proper stuff to wash them myself, this is now 4 and still looks like that, amazing how it lasts if you treat it properly

Have to admit mate, the ranges finish does look pretty fucking epic. Proper deep gloss to that. I'll give it a go myself first, but if it does all go tits up. I'll hand it over. :D
