1999 BMW 740il Calypso Red SIP, Ultrafina and Z5pro

No details booked this week, so I took the time to give the 740 a polishing and apply some zaino. It had some sap on the hood.

Sorry no in process pics.

Process:
Washed with valugard ABC system.
Wheels cleaned with valugard soap and a few brushes.
Tires cleaned with AM 777 APC 1:6.
Removed sap spots with 3M adhesive remover.
Clayed with zaino clay and Z6 as a lube.
Wipe paint down with prepsolv to ensure a smooth surface for polishing.
SIP on a Green 5.5" CCS pad at 1500.
UF on a 6" 3M blue pad and bigger panels blue CCS at 1700.
Prepsolv wipedown to remove polish oils.
Z6 wipedown
2x of ZFX'd Z5pro.
Z-16 on tires.

Notes:
The ABC system did not have an effect on any of the sap.
The smoothest paint I have ever polished. I think due to the ABC system and prepsolv wipedown.
The 5.5" green pad got worn and just made it thru the detail.
I did try some meznerna PO85RD on about half of the trunk and UF on the other half, both with a clean blue CCS pad. I looked at the finish in the sun and shade and could not tell a difference.
