    Boy: this was a monster to do! The entire finish was badly swirled and scratched. And, of course, it is Black.



    Here`s what I faced at the start:











    Soooooooo....it was a double compound. First with wool and 3M Extra Cut, then foam and 3M Perfect-It 3000 compound.



    Some work-in-progress shots of the door















    Peppered bumper







    Most of the small peppering is gone







    Here`s a good comparison of Before and After











    A direct flash from the camera will also show you how the finish is doing!











    Some overall shots











    After the double compounding, I used Menzerna 106 with a Meguiar`s yellow polish pad to remove some trace scratches. Then back to 3M Dark Glaze followed by 3M Ultrafina SE.



    Monday....it`s wax time which will be #26.



    This was a hard clear coat that finished nicely.

    Thanks Sir! I will not be attending the Expo next month. Like a lot of people in the auto business, the volume of cars to recondition is way down and I can`t afford the trip.



    I might make the AutoGeek Detail Fest though.

    Rather off-topic, but what color is your M1?

    I do mobile detailing for friends and family. Might not be the absolute best, but I do it for free.
