Red BMW detail

[Thomas Dekany]

Exterior only. Client said the car was in pretty bad shape and not to worry about the inside because of his dog. :hm



So what was I in for? Just the opposite of the Bronco from 2 days ago. The car looked pretty good. Normally that age 5 series are trashed in my experience.



I was told that the car didn`t need paint correction.... that the car had no swirls. :D :grinno:



Anyways, I started very early this morning and while washing the car, the sun let me see the paint for a minute or so. While it wasn`t terrible, the car was covered with them.



To be honest, he was overpaying me for what he wanted. He left the check in the car for me.



I decided to level the paint a bit. Today was mostly cloudy, but I ended up removing about 80+% of the imperfections.



I had the best pictures in Manual mode but of course I overexposed them :wall :wall

Thanks Andrew - One of the neighbors asked me to detail (next monday) his 1986 SL that is also red with like 16000 miles on it.



Thank you guys!

[imported_Picus]

Don`t you love details like that? It always seems like the ones that are "in really bad shape" are actually not bad and the one that are "almost mint" are hideous. :)



Nice work.

[atticdog]

where do you get a red ccs pads?

i only see red ccs applicators at AG

[imported_Nimble]

Nice work on that E39. I`m digging the M Parallels.

[Thomas Dekany]

Picus - I was very happy once I saw the car.

Nimble - thank you.

[01bluecls]

Pics turned out pretty good imo. Great job on bringing out the red luster!

[imported_rydawg]

great job Thomas. I love those e39`s as well, especially with those m wheels.

You must love red BMW`s at this point after doing all those black ones.

[Scottwax]

Outstanding! The paint looks so rich and deep. :drool:

[euro]

Damn, that`s one sweeet ride...it looks so beefcake. :chuckle:

The paint and wheel work shots are right on the money! :woot:
