This is the same owner as the 335. I`m not sure who is more picky, him or his wife. This one belong to the wife, pretty sure it stayed in the garage this morning to avoid the rain and he had to drive her to work in the 335.


Kept things going with this one and pretty much lost everything except some finished shot, at least I got one sun shot on the rear hatch.


Process
wheels with meguiars DUB
Prefoamed with CG CW+G and Ultimate snowfoam
2BM with CG Citrus wash clear
clayed with nanoskin autoscrub on the GG6 and the speed prep towel
paint correction with the rupes 21, UHS pads and D300, this got about 80% correction but anything more would have required 2 steps and that wasn`t in the budget
exhaust with the new pinnacle exhaust cleaner and brightener
tires with BF AIO trim & tire protectant
LSP was BFWD
engine cleaned with zep citrus via tornador then 303AP


exhaust before and after

One full sun shot, you can tell since the tail lights are still swirled here

Nice work.

Sure it looks better than when the dealer handed them the keys

Nice work.

Sure it looks better than when the dealer handed them the keys

And every time they hand the keys back after service and a complimentary wash.

Thanks Ron.
