so at this point, i am in complete astonishment of how bad of a paint job this car had!!! it looke like it barely got wetsanded and buffed after leaving the body shop!!! and i had yet to even put the light to it! honestly i was afraid of what i would see!



so i took a break and did the interior... my camera died after this pic... so i charged it while i did the rest, but forgot to take pictures after...

i finished that day at 1:15AM



i went back the next day to finish up the interior, do a FK# 425 wipe and black WOW. but i forgot my camera.



i hope you guys enjoyed seeing what a little elbow grease and some polish can do when it comes to restoring REFLECTIONS

[kozluv]

WOW, awesome job. Did you go through a whole bar of clay doing this car?

[imported_shine]

Wow, the body shop really skimped on this one. Nice work fixing it! What was your total time?

[gamby]

Those befores are ghoulish.



Amazing resurrection on a car far too new to be that far gone.

[kaval]

Holy hackjob Batman!

Great job recovering the 6 series!

[TSC17]

It`s amazing somebody so badly hacked such a beautiful car. Great job on the turnaround. Yeah...how many total hours did you put in it?

[murf'n'surf]

Great work!! I have run across a similar paint job before, the car looks ok in the sunlight but once inside a garage ---- BOOM -- it all comes out!!





PS -- dont let the Miami taxpayers get a hold of these pics!!! LOL

[The Twanksta]

wow! did you wetsand this car at all?? Looks phenominal! I wish I could detail my cars in a fire dept....haha! Did they watch you go through the process?

[imported_Totoland Mach]

WOW times 2! That`s the worst re-paint I`ve even seen on a Bimmer. You did one heckuva job recovering that mess!



The dealer here wouldn`t even bring a car like that in the shop....he`d be embarrassed to say that was in his inventory.



Congrats and I hope the effort paid handsomely for you.

[rwisejr]

[Old Pirate]

[ScheerSpeed]

[steck]
