    This car was solid but being black it needed some serious correction.

    Correction- Rupes 21 Mark ll, Griots microfiber cutting pad, fast correction cream. Adams swirl killer mini was also used

    Finish polishing- Rupes 21 Mark ll, Rupes yellow pad, hyper polish, Adams swirl killer mini, Rupes yellow pad

    LSP- IGL Poly 1 year coating

    Justins00ss- Hey, I`m late to this party, but did appreciate your posting it. I have a special fondness for that generation of 7-Series, borrowed one from a pal and was astounded to find myself falling madly in love with it, *never* woulda thunk it..somehow just suited me perfectly.

    This is the first time I saw a black car with a coating really pop. Almost makes me want to switch LSPs Astounding work and if you do more black cars, certainly post them here.
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    Thanks Tom. Yeah when properly maintained it will last a year no doubt. But anything in the 10 month range in New England is average.
