2007 Black M5

Another freebie for the owner of the shop. Purchased 3 weeks ago but the car had some miles on it.

He only wanted the exterior done. He is also the type of guy that like the car shiny. Doesn't seem to notice swirls at all but I do. - so I removed as much as I could in the time that I had.

I spent about 5 hours on the car - but those darn wheels (inside) took some extra time away from the paint

No befores were taken

qew
clay lower panels
poli seal flex white pad
sip rotary (hood)
Max Wax pc
NL x2 on tires


After

You are right I should have. But how many times do you expect to see someone from Autopia in Northern VA.

I was making reference to that fact that I saw him at the time he was doing the detail and I did not realize that it was him. That's all. It is a small world.
