Before: this car was in pretty bad condition... but i had no clue what i was in store for until after the wash...........             scrubbing ARO on the top  after washing and clay          so at this point, i am in complete astonishment of how bad of a paint job this car had!!! it looke like it barely got wetsanded and buffed after leaving the body shop!!! and i had yet to even put the light to it! honestly i was afraid of what i would see! so i took a break and did the interior... my camera died after this pic... so i charged it while i did the rest, but forgot to take pictures after...  now... onto the halogens.....                 before/ after of the trunklid. after 1 pass with menzerna Power Gloss. look at the difference in the reflection! like the title says!!!   trunklid after 2 passes of PG  now for a 50/50 of the hood.  after 1 pass  2 passes  reflection before/after of the hood     front fender    driver's door     not even sanded!!!!!!!!!!!       trunk lid   Finished!                    i finished that day at 1:15AM i went back the next day to finish up the interior, do a FK# 425 wipe and black WOW. but i forgot my camera. i hope you guys enjoyed seeing what a little elbow grease and some polish can do when it comes to restoring REFLECTIONS |

It's amazing to me that someone can let their car get to that point.....especially a BMW. You did a great job....I especially liked the "50-50"shots!

God damn, I'm tackling a project this weekend that has a couple of repainted panels that I thought were bad...
 Good to see what I have picked out in terms of product came out with such awesome results! BTW: That is cool as hell that you did it in the Fire Hall! There is the potential for some amazing pics right there with the Fire Engines! Are you with the FD, or are you mobile and the owner is in the FD?

Seriously nice work! Just fantastic. So you're using a rotary now? Also, what's the story behind doing the detail in that location?

this is the second car I do in the same fire station. Remember the black porsche carerra?the customer was the captain of that station. I'm going back Tuesday and Wednesday to do a range rover.
I absolutely love the look and beading collinite 915 gives! It may not be a swissvax or another expensive wax, but it sure looks good! Thanks for all the compliments everyone! |
