2002 BMW 540I Wagon (Wet sanded and buffed & New Bumpers)

[xtremekustomz]

Another job for a neighbor. Painted and installed front and rear bumpers as well as changed out body moulding from painted to black. Wet sanded the whole car (Except for top and hood as they actually need paint).
-Sanded with 3m Trizact 1500 on da sander
-Sanded with 3m Trizact 3000 on da sander
-Buffed with HD Cut on wool pad followed by orange pad
-Polished with HD Polish on white pad
-ONR Wash
-Optimum Opti Seal
-Optimum OCW the next day

Hood: The hood and top have small bubbles under the paint or it appears to be. All I did was buff and did not do any wet sanding. They will need to be painted.




Quarter Panel: The whole car looked like this if not worse. I sanded with 3m 1500 Trizact on da followed by 3000 grit trizact on da. Buffed with HD Cut on wool pad followed by an orange pad and polished with HD Polish on white pad.


1500 grtt:

3000 grit:

Compounded (I forgot to shoot a pic after I polished it. Either way it removed any holograms):

Painted some new bumpers:

Not the same car as it has been raining here for the last week and I didn`t have a chance to get any outside pictures until today. These are the original bumpers that were on the car. All of the painted moulding was changed out with black moulding as well:


Finally got a break in the rain so I was able to get out and shoot a few pictures of the finished product:
