Hi guys,

I just completed a full detail on my BMW over the course of 3 days. I learned a whole lot more by working with new products like 106FF, Meg`s QID, and Natty`s Blue.



A little background on the issue:

I found my certified pre-owned 325i on a dealer`s lot last fall on a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, there were several bird bombs on the paint, and I had no way to remove them, since the dealership was closed.



I ended up buying the car, but not before the bird bombs etched their way into my clearcoat.





The Solution:

I totally overlooked the etching until after I finished my detail. I noticed them when doing the final wipedown. So I took a Griot`s microfiber and some Menzerna Intensive Polish. The bird bombs were completely gone after 3 or 4 "passes" with the IP!



I just wanted to let you guys know how well IP worked, and it was completely LSP ready after removing the etching!

I have been on the fence about IP for awhile now. I am going to take this as the push I needed. Nice car by the way.
