Great job once again, DJ!

I detail several BMW's each month and find it really weird that this particular car was harder than normal . It's actually not a bad thing, since the soft Jet Black is a nightmare to deal with!

I noticed you used a PFW pad on the top surfaces. Have you ever tried the Micro Surface Black Lambs Wool pads? If you like the PFW, you'll love them.

You may also want to pick up some of the new LC Hydro-Tech pads (Cyan & tangerine) if you work on a lot of BMW's. These pads work incredible on the newer BMW clears and shave lots of time off the detail.

Incredible work!!!!

Thanks Rick.

I have used the Micro Surface pads before but never ordered any. I need to. I keep hearing great things about the new Hydro Tech pads as well. I guess a detailer can never have too many pads or Microfibers. Is there anyone specific I should speak to about the pads or just order direct?

Great work. Any idea what caused the bad water spotting?

It happened when the owner was out, so maybe a sprinkler system or maybe a rain, then the sun came out right away. Who knows?
