2007 BMW E90 328xi - Alpine White

[stilez]

Fun car to work with, pretty much in great shape across the board. Being white, I got rather intimate with the clay bar, but other than that, just light swirling and soil. I paid extra attention to the finer details with this one.





Interior



- Steam to clean

- Zaino Z10 to protect

- Stoner`s Invisible Glass on glass

Car is at the dealer today getting its 15k free service :)



hopefully they dont wash it in a machine, i told them to specify hand washing only

nice! i love that color, its so hard to capture swirls in white but you did a great job

[joyriiide1113]

Very nice. I`m noticing more PC details. Works great. How did M105 work via PC for you. Others have mentioned that its correction ability is still very good.

Terrific results - BMW`s just look terrific in white, IMO. That rear bumper...wow! I have the 3M film on my car, and I think the rear bumper piece is my favorite one...rock chips are nothing when you have clumsy folks moving stuff in and out of the trunk.

I hope you are ready to have all of this great work undone. :sadpace:



Anyways, the car looks great, *crisp* seems like the right word.

Thanks everyone.

I found this clear rather hard. ZPC alone was just not cutting it. 105 worked wonderfully at removing 95% of the defects after the first rounds of passes. I followed up on a couple spots on the hood and rear bumper ledge and walked around the car correcting any micromarring (almost none) with a quick pass or three with ZPC. This is a nice 1-2 combo via PC or rotary.

Wow, amazing work Sean! I`ve never seen a white car look that good.

[imported_sal329]

:2thumbs: that white is blinding

[TSC17]

Nice job. I`m glad to see more of us using the 105/PC combo!

Really good job - it`s really hard to make white pop - you succeeded here.
