Today I detailed this 96 black BMW in very bad shape. Swirls and scratches all over, brown wheels, well, hard work.
It took me 6 hours, mostly because, even though I used a rotary w/ a compound foam pad and Menzerna`s Fast Cut, I had to do more than one passes on each panel to remove most of scratches, and yet some remained there, though couldn`t feel them with my nail. Maybe I`ll get some 3M or Megs heavy cut copoumd.
I then followed with the DA, cutting foam and DACP, and lastly the polishing pad and 3M PI-III Machine Polish.
Here`s how it was:
