M5 two step correction.



This car need a ton of help and a three step was out of the budget and way over the amount of the time allowed for the detail. I went with a rather aggressive two step that actually surprised me on how well I was able to finish down after. Usually I wouldn’t get so aggressive with the compounding without doing a three step, but this paint just responded quite well.



Process:

Decon wash

Clay treatment

Compound

Polish

Clean paint

Sealant wax

Wheels and tires

Interior vacuuming and dusting

Leather conditioning

It was very cloudy outside and I had to leave 30 min prior so no afters with lights, but lets just say the turn around was drastic!!!! MUCH improved clarity and depth, loads more gloss and wetness, and a smoother feel to the paint!

Nice detail.



However, they need to take those Audi V10 badges off the fenders... =/

That`s some pretty insane gloss in the after shots!
