    8000 mile BMW on the verge of clear failure.

    I coated this car about 5 years ago when we first started to use coatings. Gave instructions on care and since I take care of 6 other cars for these clients, I tried to remind them it needs regular maintenance details. But it was always” the others get more use, this just sits”. Yes it sits outside 24/7 in the woods. As you can see it is trashed. Several areas were on the verge of total failure. I only offered a one step and wax due to this and referred them to a body shop if they wanted it perfect. A one step with Griot’s finishing Sealant on a Griot’s microfiber pad with the 15, followed by Griot’s poly wax. Wheels with Griot’s iron and fallout remover, tires with Griot’s black satin. Didn’t get a lot of pictures but you’ll get the idea. Thank you for looking!

    It looks great. Such a nice car to just "sit".

    Nice job. BMWs are meant to be driven hard.

    That one photo looked like a natural photograph at first glance, instead of a reflection. Wow
