My E90 and E92

Yep swirls were removed using a rotary with 3m polish, cleansed with Dodo lime juice, finished with a combo of Dodo wax and Swissol wax - the paint flake is much more visible now and the gloss is much deeper.

Took the guy all day to get the swirls out as BMW paint is a tad hard. Should be a one-off cost as hopefully i wont inflict any new swirls |
