Oakes - Detailed: 2009 BMW 335i - Hack Job Recovery

[OakesDetail]

This 2009 BMW 335i came by for a paint corrective exterior detail, and while the car definitely looked good - the paint needed some help. As a result of improper rotary buffing before hand, not done by the owner of the vehicle, there were holograms and swirls throughout the vehicle. In the photo documentation below, you will see the progression of the paint correction and final results of the detail.



I would to emphasize the importance of knowing the capabilities of potential detailers, before making the decision to take your pride and joy to get done!



They say a picture is worth a thousand words, here are forty of them!
