poly sprayed new Z4

[glen e]

So I got the Z4 today and man what a car. the new 4 cyl turbo is amazing - more torque and same hp as old 6 cyl. That's the good news - the bad news is the car definitely needs to be clayed. Took the baggie with me and swept the surface as soon as I got near the car and yep...small bumps like sand. So it needs to be clayed.

No time this weekend so I washed with glossworkz and BF poly sprayed it for now. Now to go drive it to dinner!

Beautiful car Glen. What BF combo are you planning on using on her?

Beautiful car Glen. What BF combo are you planning on using on her?

• clay
• BF TPnS - gg6 with green pad
• CS
• Poly spray

It's a proven winner combo and about a 90 min job for me...

Congratulations on the beautiful car! Think that red is going to be fantastic Blackfired.

I did discover something about BMW trim - it is extremely "porous" and rough-like and does hold some of the blackfire TPnS and stain it a bit. ISP cleaned it off but I will tape this car before I polish it...

Glen,

That is one gorgeous car!

Red is one of those colors that really benefit from a through correction and detail. It's like night and day once done right and you my friend will be the benefactor.

I'm looking forward to seeing the before and after photos!! :bigups
