Yea, products and process would be good.

I love seeing huge luxury sedans getting restored, not a big fan of the wheels though.

I didn't like those wheels when they were filthy, but now I do! Great job!

Nice job, but I think inquiring minds would like to see a write up too

Re: 2003 BMW 745 Li Full paint correction

nice turn around. the overall surface of the four wheels should count as a whole other car!

Re: 2003 BMW 745 Li Full paint correction

Thanks guys!

I'll put a complete write up together tomorrow night.

I'm halfway through a 2 day detail on a 34 Ford Coupe.

It's 8:30 PM and I just finished cleaning my towels and pads from today and made sure I had what I need for tomorrow.

The car is in pretty bad shape, the engine and accessories are chrome and polished aluminum, the car had been sitting for some time and has a ton of swirls and RIDS.

The engine is a mess and to top it off it's scheduled to go across the block at Barret Jackson in West Palm Beach in March. So I have my work cut out foe me.

I'll do a write up and pics on that one over the weekend.

Re: 2003 BMW 745 Li Full paint correction

Excellent work as always.

The wheels would look a lot better if the car was lowered.
