Black M5 revisited and an X6!!!

I was getting gas after this detail and happened to look over at the truck. I didn't realize that the X6 was already out. Looked very nice. I just took a picture of it.




======================================================

It is well known that these bmw single clutch auto transmissions are not reliable and 2 weeks ago this M5 also had to go in for some repair work. The service manager released the car with swirls everywhere after a good wash, although they were instracted not to.

The owner is driving to North Carolina this friday for another bmw driving class and wanted it to look shiny.

I was done in 3 hours - new car and in good shape.

No deswirling today.

Process:

WB on wheels cut 4:1
wash
clay
Poli Seal green ccs pad 1200rpm-1500rpm
Z2 Pro udm white pad speed 5
NL on tires

Vacuumed the interior

Afters

Looks great!!

Would you happen to know if the owner is a Volvo Enthusiast? He has what seems to be a Volvo Motorsport emblem under his M5 badge.

Re: Black M5 revisited and an X6!!!

Top notch work as always Thomas!

Just curious... What kind of durability are you getting with Z2 applied over Poli-Seal?

Very interesting combo

The car looks incedible!!
