White BMW 745i w/full A.C. Schnitzer Pkg.

This detail was just a quickie. Overall it was in OK shape, but only because it's white. It really should've been clayed because there were all kinds of debris in the paint and some spider webbing. A possible buyer was coming to take a look at the car so I did what I could in an hours time. The car usually has 22 inch wheels on it which look rediculous, but they are off for the winter.

I washed the exterior, wheels & wheel wells

Removed most of the grease and tar off the bottoms with Nylon Spotter Solvent

Dressed tires & wheel wells with Super Blue Dressing

LSP was OCW

The befores:



The afters:

The paint doesn't on the body kit doesn't seem to match up well with the OEM paint.

Excellent appearance for an hour's worth of work! OCW is a real time saver, isn't it?

wow that is a terrible paint match on that kit! Good detail though, I wish we could see it with the 22's as that is the perfect size for that car.

Beautiful...but why 3 tires of one type, and 1 of another on the 22s? Looks like 1 P-Zero Nero and the rest I can't tell. I'm not sure why you'd want 1 directional and the rest not. I hope they're at least all in the same performance category.

Yep it's one Nero and three Continental Sport Contact 2's - not good.
