2007 BMW 335I Correction

[maxepr1]

Guy`s been very busy, this is a 07 BMW Monaco Blue. Full correction is what the customer wanted. Interior was like brand new, didn`t even snap any pictures. Engine bay just needed a good wash. Exterior had RIDS, Holograms, and some water etching. 18 hours in total. Had to go with PFW and 105 on a rotary to knock down the damage then went over with Hydro finishing pad and 205. Softest paint I`ve ever seen! Marred with everything, that why I ended up with 205 and a finishing pad. I tried jeweling with 85rd but all I was doing was adding marring everywhere! IPA I had diluted down to 2:1 to remove carrier oils and even then it was inducing marring! So I consulted with Dave from Street Dreams (thanks Dave,I owe you) he suggested Meg`s Final Inspection, which worked much better! Finished off with Power Lock. Enjoy!

very clean work.. I wonder why you say the paint is so soft? I keep reading about how hard BMW clear is...

[maxepr1]

Roger, you are correct, BMW`s are usually on the harder side. This car must have failed there inspection and been resprayed. The owner ordered it and it came off the truck with 4 miles on it and it has never seen a body shop. The bar code on the deck lid was sprayed over which leads me to believe it`s a respray. Readings were pretty healthy. Just a wipe down with a clean MF towel was marring all over, 4:1 and 3:1 IPA wasn`t strong enough to remove the carrier oils! So I had to mix up 2:1 and even still with light pressure tons of marring! Jeweling was not possible as more marring was induced than it was worth!! That was with RD and LC black. I`ve done enough bimmers to know how they finish and this one was an exception! Enjoy a challenge every now and then!

I have 2 BMW`s and the paint is pretty hard. Nice job looks great
