Car: Vehicle was a 1991 BMW 850i. M series 19 inch rims.



Condition: Good overall shape. Trunk was pretty bad, and the roof was in worse shape. They will need a repaint, but at least they have some shine back now.

Looks great Steve! Those are some serious wheels! What dilution of 777 did you use on them? Are they uncoated or cleared? If I remember correctly, 4:1 is the ususal 777 dilution on wheels.



I really like the 777 but haven`t used it on wheels yet. Could be a good go to for uncoated wheels given that it says it won`t blush metals.

AWESOME work!





Why does that thing have cloth interior though?





Was the trunk suffering from clearcoat checking?





Again, great work...That car shows well :).

I love the look of the 8xx series, pity they don`t make them anymore. Superb work on the car by the way, pics are outstanding too! :2thumbs:
