Very excellent job guys, this really differentiates a pro that holds a buffer everyday compared to an enthusiast like me.

Also very good photos of the defects and the after sun shots.

The gloss and colour depth is amazing. What colour does BMW call this?

Excellent work again, added this thread to my favourites.

edit: out of interest, do you guys do normal wash and waxes? (i.e. a 'quick paint cleaner + sealant/wax' job) or it's paint correction 24/7?

I call it saitan black.

Awesome job Rick- those outdoor pics look incredible.

It looks like a different car. Almost like its in a new skin. "problem child" for sure!
Maybe suggest to the customer to remove the "Herb Chambers" license plate frame. Herb doesn't deserve the advertisement after destroying that car, plus dealer frames never look good.

also, you went from Power Finish to 105 to Power finish? or was your first polish Power Gloss? That's quite an interesting combo.

And do you mind sharing what the name of the industrial degreaser is that you used? Spray nine?

I dropped by the shop this Monday, but at 3pm, too early!

I just threw up in my mouth from those before shots. I have never seen a car with 300 miles in such terrible disrepair. You guys did an amazing job with the paint perfection, the car looks absolutely perfect.

That paint was in a horrible condition. Man, those after shots were amazing. Hopefully he takes it back to the dealer so they can see what it should look like and maybe reimburse the car owner for the detail.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Jet Black! I've given up on trying to make mine perfect. As a daily driver I'd have to correct it every single day to keep it looking good. Never, ever again will I own a JB Bimmer! Great correction.

That is an incredible detail! Great job!

I love black cars, but heard BMW black paint swirls when someone breathes on it wrong! So I went with the black sapphire metallic. It seems to hold up better (or the metal flakes hide it?).

The photos make a great advertisement for the Blackfire, too. I have a bottle of JetSeal to go through (which I top every month with Natty Blue), but the Blackfire is on my radar now.

You guys did it again. That car looks amazing. The sad thing is I'm sure this is not the only one out there like this. Someone really laid into this car with only 300 miles. there is no reason for that. this is a prime example of true craftsmenship. We all talk about getting swirls out because of improper washing or the tunnels of death, yet for years I fixed alot of cars that came from an auction a dealership where I had worked and was blown away by how people wheel these cars up like this and ship them. Its can be really hard fixing others mistakes. These pictures show before and after, but they don't show is the hard work put in to it. the countless hours massage the paint to true perfection theway guys do. they don't show the sweat put into it. I'd say you guys are true champions! you should feel like them yankees! lol Very top notch.

Rick, Ryan... that is simply amazing work and I want you both to know that reading this thread gave me warm, fuzzy and tingling sensation everywhere and that the crystal-clear sun shots on that jet-black car gave me a stiffy like you wouldn't believe. I think I appreciate that more than the owner ever will .
