So picked up a new E30 earlier this week.
The good: No rust
The bad: Paint about as flat and unglossy as a chalkboard
The solution: Menzerna SIP
Before: Notice you can`t see any reflections and can barely see the camera`s flash!
After: Note the flash of the camera, and the tree`s and stuff in the background! Wish it wasn`t so overcast or you could see the difference a lot better.. Really looks like a new car now!
50/50 shot: Notice the side with the blue tape has been done, left side has not, and no thats not hazed wax/polish, thats how poorly the paint was neglected
Trunk reflection: Best shot I could get to show reflectiveness due to the overcast and gray sky...
Now back out to get a coat of wax on it before it starts raining!

Yeah, single stage paint FTW, and no, not a track car
I hope to one day do the E30 Spec class, but for now I just drive them on the road.
Full pics soon, when I get done waxing!
