FMINUS Detailed: 2009 BMW 135i Jet Black

This is a new car with less than 3k on the odo. Even being new, there were plenty of VERY deep swirling and RIDS. It was also ridden with waterspots.

Cosmoline and other contaminates were also plenty on the paint.

After removing the clear bra per owners request, I went to work. I removed the majority of the swirls and RIDS, but the surface definitely wasnt perfect. However, I did not want to remove too much clear as the car is an 09, and also Jetblack. The owner decided to correct the clear perpetually as opposed to taking too much off all at once.

Thanks

I'll jump in for F- on this one...

The 3M sun gun only has a single bulb, the reflection in his pic looks like the over/under of the Brinkman.

Here is the 3m.
