Hi Everyone,
I just bought a 15k mile, 2018 m2, and I’m looking for a good detail shop to do some paint correction, a ceramic coating, and possibly have the front bumper PPF’d as well. Car is in great shape, no scratches, chips or dents, just some hazing/swirl marks; but I think the previous owner went through an automatic car wash a few too many times.

If my budget was higher I would do more or full PPF, but with a kid on the way, I’m trying to keep it mid-range/reasonable. I had a GTI previously that I had a full ceramic coating on and it looked great.

I got a quote from AVI in Newton, and they seem like an awesome shop, but it was about triple most other quotes I’ve been getting. Anyone have any good experiences at a reasonable rate?
Thanks in advance.

*also I know this should probably go in the regional forum, but that one seems pretty empty - apologies.

I just purchased an 840, I'm going to do a front PPF (full hood, full fenders, front bumper, mirrors, headlights) and tint throught Elite Auto Spa in Lawrence. Thinking of adding a ceramic coating as well as I want some paint correction on the rest of the car, but not totally decided on that yet. Will post feedback when I've had it done in a week.

Edit: did also get a quote from Automotive Elegance in Andover and it was literally identical to Elite Auto Spa

Unique Car Care did the PPF and Ceramic on my previous F15. Friends of mine have gone through Unique and Craft Detailing with great results.

I have used both Unique and Automotive Elegance. Not sure if they are the most cost effective shops.
