09 BMW Jet Black

[Pander5]

I`m hanging this one up on the Trouble Tree! I had a Jet Black 09 BMW 335i today and the reputation of this paint is that it`s incredibly soft. Not so with this one!!! This puppy was rock hard and I really had a hard time correcting to 100%

Anyone else have any recent experience with the BMW Jet Black?

Me. Every day.

Is it swrilled? rids?

What did you try using?

[Pander5]

Swirls and scratches from tunnel wash and a few RIDS. My final selection after experimenting a bit was Meg`s 105, orange pad and my circular up to about 1600/1700. Followed that with SIP green pad up to about 1400/1500, then finished with Menz 106ff black pad at around 1000 to 1200. The scratches were even laughing at the M105 cut approach. :wall

On mine I have only used PB SSR`s. So I don;t know what to tell you.
Sorry.

That`s ok Ronkh, thanks for answering. It`s just that this one threw me for a loop. I was expecting the typical recent build date soft JB and this twas a wicked one!

I`m sure your`s isn`t needing substantial correction like this one did but what do you use as far as SSR`s. I`m guessing you don`t go up to SSR 3 do you? Also, what build date are you? If I remember you have a 5?

I had the pleasure of working on Ron`s paint one day and everything I tried kept intruducing swirls into the paint, even SSR 1 on a finish pad. That is until I realized I had to crank the speed up and generate a bit more heat with the new formula SSR 1 and then it finished out very nice.

Sounds like the soft paint. Thanks Dave.
