1995 BMW 325i (JET BLACK)

[imported_artikxscout]

I did this job in the wine country... actually before it in Napa. The owner wanted me to work on everything on the exterior including some touch up, but he didn`t want me to touch the side skirts or bumpers.



Overall, po106ff finished off everything. There were a bunch of deep scratches that I didn`t want to diminish the clear coat for so I finished them as best as I could.

Pictures: I forgot to bring my camera so Ron was kind enough to let me use his. I didn`t know that the sun would wash out a lot of the pictures so not all of them came out the way I wanted.

Note: Things started turning out better when I went a little more aggressive on the Wet sand (caution, don`t do this if you never done it). Also, specs on the hood were random pitting that was all over the hood.

Hi!!



Looks great!! 26 looks awesome on black, esp. for the money. That looked swirling and scratched up alot.



I think you could have cut out the AIO as the paintwork cleaners already exist in the polishes and AIO sealing properties stopped RMG from getting to the paintwork.

ahhh, thought AIO would clean off all the oils for RMG so it can bond to the paint. Guess not, Thanks.
