Had a repeat client drop off his original 1986 BMW 325 ES for a make over. With only 88k miles on the clock the original interior is immaculate. The original single stage paint needed some help to say it lightly. Before dropping off I had him visit my paintless dent guy to go over it and get it straightened out. The plan here was to get the paint corrected and coated.


Prep/Decon


Ammo Frothe, Nanoskin fine grade towel


Correction- Rupes 21 mm Mark ll, B/S Uro wool, Fast correcting cream. Adams swirl killer mini, B/S uro wool.


Finish polishing- Rupes 21 mm Mark ll, B/S yellow pad, Hyper polish. Adams swirl killer mini, B/S yellow


LSP- IGL Poly 1 year coating

Beautiful and I also appreciate your write up with the before and after pictures framed equally. Makes it really easy to discern the improvement.

Love the e30`s. Great write-up and result!! What did you use on all black plastic/rubber trim? That stuff is killer on the older European cars.
