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.
Thanks Barry!!!!!!!

It's so true, after reading the write up Rick posted here, it honestly looks like it was just an average correction job, but I'll tell you it was a friggin nightmare from hellll. Rick and I could not wait till this car was finished.

At first it was so deeply embedded with silicone fillers, full strength degreaser would not even budge it out of the paint. We then tried wool and all it was doing was sitting and spinning creating NO heat at all. It was not even budging the swirls 1% at 3000 rpm.

I then grabbed some special solvent and let the entire car soak for hours and removed it. The paint was starting to get that squeak to it. We then tried a rotory with wool and finally got heat and correction followed short after. Hooorraayyyy!!!!!! 1 step down, 4 more to go.

The fun factor on this car was a big ole 0.

Then 85rd was acting up crazy (wierd) on this paint too, I just stayed focused for many long hours along with having lots and lots of patience trying to perfect the very last 2% of perfection process. Jet black can be special at times.

Almost , but we won after the long battle through Jet Black Sea.

The after pics do the car no justice at all. When we rolled it out into the sun, we both just inspected it every inch and both came up having very huge grins on our faces. This car came out beyond spectacular!!!!!

Excellent work guys!

That thing was horrid! Hopefully the owner can get the dealer to pay for at least part of it.m

Re: Black BMW 1-Series - Extensive Paint Correction by Unique Car Care

I just want to thank everyone personally for all the nice comments and I appreciate it very much!!!!!

The best part of doing jobs like this is that Rick and I are so very precise and consistant with each other. He takes one side, and I the other and just make it happen till it's perfect. We think so much like each other it is scary.
