detailbarn vs. black 328i

detailbarn · 02-28-09, 03:55

I'm just getting back into the swing of things since I've been out of commission for so long, thought I'd give my skills a nice test on a 2007 Jet Black 328I that the owner removed frozen snow with a snow shovel or at least thats what I deduce due to the scratches in the paint and glass! Yes I said in the glass. There was alot of damage on this car and some of it was irreversible but I worked some magic and tried out a great new combo. Here are the list of products and pics of the end results.

All done with cyclo, love that machine!

yellow wool pad with Menzerna PG on hood, roof and trunk.

All other panels I skipped the PG and went right to the intensive.
orange pad with intensive
green pad with PO85
green pad with ZAIO (this was something new I tired, usually I would use a white pad with ZAIO but I like how the green pad worked the ZAIO into the paint, I think it gave the finish a wetter look then I usually get.)

Sealed with Zaino Clear Seal, final wipe down with Z8

Couple of Before's of the damage

And the finished product!

thanks for the comments guy, this one was a bear due to the cold weather. Worst part is it just snowed again the day after I detailed it, hope the snow just slides of this time.

looks great... have any issues with marring during the detail... Jet Black supposedly is a PITA.... I have yet to tackle my car as it just snowed two days ago =P

yes jet black was a PITA but with a little time and technique i was able to get this car back to 90% of what it should look like. I have another one coming up soon and I am going to try some different stuff but the products used on this one worked well just make sure you towels and pads are 100% clean no debris.
