Black sapphire BMW M5 correction

Just completed another "full court press" detail, 24 hours plus to correct. Vehicle was in dire need of it all with automated car wash RIDS, brake dust embedded wheels,tree sap stains on the clear bra film etc, etc........

This one pooped me out so I will say products used Gloss-it(big suprise there) P&S, and tons of sweat equity.

The start of a very long day



Nice finish to work with huh..................





Tree sap stains on the film(this was a B***H)



Brake dust and tar embedded in the wheel(2 hours per wheel)



Look at the scratch, even from three feet away you can see the grand canyon deep ravine



Close up of the scratch



Correcting with new extreme cut plus beta





Steaming the keyhole as it was looking greasy and hurting



As the car was wrapped down the side as well you can see the deep marring, and the corrected keyhole



Interior before pics







After pics







Before engine pics





After pics





Trunk Before



Trunk area took 1.5 hours to vacuum!!!!!!



Trunk after



Finshed pics









No sun pic as I finished right when the sun dipped over the hills(crap) light of truth shot though to show true correction

Re: Black sapphire BMW M5 correction

Did you remove the wheels to clean them?


Blows my mind that someone can let their 100k+ car get like that.

I have a Snap on scissor lift, but I cant use it until I have the approach ramp set up fabbed upso I am STILL on the ground and no the wheels were not dismounted, I have seen with my own two eyes floor jacks fallas I had too much time for each wheel to be off the car and it up in the air. Soon I will have the tight set up.

Re: Black sapphire BMW M5 correction

Looks great Bob! Did you use the steamer just for the keyholes or did you use the steamer elsewhere as well? Oh and BMW carpets can be such a pain to clean!
