Did I get your attention ? This thread is PICTURE heavy..:up

Ok this was my first thread. . .

OK.. Never detailed before !! Help me out !! Lots of Pics.

and this was my second...
Newbie Questions about wetsanding... HELP ME !! LOL

I decided after alot of advice from you guys that I should try and attack this problem myself...

This is the result...

1) Picked it up from BMW like this
It was horrible with swirl marks and pits.

2) I used all sort of products on it to get it in better shape.
this is the result after a little wetsanding, compounding, polishing and finishing up with Klasse. . .
Klasse 2x AIO, 5xSp

3) Finally I added a coat of Blitz and MAN what a difference.. Judge for yourself.

Klasse (2x AIO,5x SP) plus one coat of Blitz

This was my first time ever detailing a car and using an orbital buffer. I decided to take everyone`s advice and try to learn this myself instead of having a body shop wetsand the hood. I mean the car is only one year old. I think I did an OK job and really can`t wait to get even better and better at detailing..

Wheel wells and tires next !!

THANK YOU GUYS !!! You saved me alot of money and gave me the courage to learn to work with a black car !!

See? It wasn`t that hard. And you feel better about it since you did it yourself.

Keep up the good work.

:xyxthumbs

**Jimmymac** · 04-29-2002, 11:33 PM

Wow that is a really cool vid.

Today when I was taking pictures I put the bottle of Klasse Sp on the hood to get a reflection off the hood. I turned around to back up and take the pic. I turned back around and the klasse had disappeared. I thought I had poltregist.. the klasse had slid off the hood.. It`s SOOOOOOOO slick..

and no it didn`t leave a scratch LOL

Now stay far away from the car in front of you, all it takes is one chip on a black car to ruin that fine work you just did.

Make sure you give yourself an extra day to get to work, when you give alot of space in between the car in front of you and yours someone will cut in, then you need to make space there and someone else cuts in then you need to make more space ..... after half of your normal driving time you`ll see that you really only moved 1/2 of a mile and every car in back of you is passing you to get in front while sticking their finger out the window.

I`m telling you, some of the stuff I do on the road to keep my finish looking as good as it can prob could get me arrested.

I was swerving around puddles this morning.. people must think I`m insane..

I think i`m going to get the Scotchgard so I don`t go totally insane
