Well heres the story to go with this car.



It is a friends, I had offered to polish it and this brings us to today!



Bimmer with swirls, unfortunately the sun went down as we finished. I will try and get some in sun pictures.



I used

SSR2.5

#80

VM/#7

Ex-p

NXT on lower panels

Nattys on whole car.



I did half the car in #7 and the other in VM, not visual differences, although VM was a better surface to apply ex-p onto i think.



Well here are the befores and afters!!

Notice the swirling and lack of gloss or depth. Now look at it.

the bmw belongs to myself and can say it was a real learning experience watching jj use all the different polishes and couldnt believe my eyes when i saw what the swirl remover stuff he used,think jj is also dedicated to what he does and has a good future ahead if he did this,once again thanks for all your hard work jj very grateful and happy.:xyxthumbs

Thanks for everyone`s comments. I won`t be working on anyone`s car this weekend apart from my own. It has just been sprayed at the back end, so a rub down with #80 then some glaze at the back then just top the wax up on the rest of the car (not the back).
