This BMW 318 came to us through a referral, the owner did a good job in maintaining the car and the products he used range from Autoglym to Zymol. But some how swirl marks and water etched marks found their way to the car. After accessing the condition, we assured the owner we will bring back the showroom shine of the car.



The preparation,

Outstanding work! I`ve done the NXT/#16 route on black too and it does look impressive! Excellent side by side shot too. :)

Hey guys thanks for the comments.



Scottwax - Have seen some of your work with RMG on black, very stunning. Do you think if I apply RMG before NXT/#16 the result will be much better ? Very tempted to order the RMG but the expansive shipping cost is stopping me for the time being.
