the car was mostly swirls and holograms. the lower panels were pretty contaminated but it cleaned up very well with the clay.

Nicely done, turned out really good!

Great job! Looks really good.

Can`t believe he`s smoking cigs in a car like that haha, but as long as he doesn`t burn the headliner or seats he`s good.

That paint really pops. Nice job!

One of my best friends has a black 325i and she smokes like a chimney, and NEVER cleans her car. Honestly, there is a thick layer of ash covering the car, man it was a REAL fun day when I cleaned her interior with her. </sarcasm>

On the back arm rests the ash builds up and it looked 100% identical to how that m5 looked like. Also, the ash on the back seats looked identical.
