IMAGE Auto Detail- Black 04 530

[imageautodetail]

Well we got about 15+ inches of snow last night so I thought I would update with some some stuff that I did while I was banned



2004 BMW 530 6 sp, 4yrs old....17K miles car was just driven down from Chi town and I thought with the milage that it would be in pretty good condition, but of course there was a suprise under all the dirt when it was washed. I usually clay during the wash and prep, but I thought with the miles that It may be OK, so I ended up having to clay in a second step, through me off about a half hour. On top of that it has been 60-70 and extremely humid and rainy the past couple of days, so polishes were not acting as they should, another bonus hour tacked on. All and all, this detail took about 7 hours,

[Big_O]

Wow, what an incredible difference. Nice work!

[jswift2000]

Great job. How the h3ll does someone let a car like that get into the before-hand condition?

this is a question I ask on a daily basis, but it keeps me in business

[BLKSWAN]

Excellent turnaround...came out great.

[JustinDetail]

Very nice work! I`m most impressed with how well you cleaned the interior! It looks so natural, and like new. Not all doctored up with greasy dressings, again, nice work. :)

[Bruce B]

nice work !

People that would trash a nice car like that should be forced to drive an AMC Pacer or K car !

How does a car that new already have the orange peel effect?
