Good friend of mine recently bought a 2008 BMW 335i (convertible twin turbo). He mentioned it had some swirls and need some attention. The interior needed a light cleanup as well. Only problem was, didn't have time for a full correction. Had about 8 hours total with the car.

Did the interior and wash / decon on the exterior. Put on the LED lights and it was a rotary buffer trail nightmare! Looked light somebodys first day polishing. Or I hope it was. Can't get much worse I don't think.







Definitely did not have time for a 2 step correction. Had to give it all I could with 1. Found this paint a bit on the hard side while doing test spots and settled on:

Flex3401 + LC Tangerine + Menz SIP

The test spot in question. Buffer trails stopped in their tracks



A 50 50 shot (reminder - this was not a full correction - just displaying the level of correction I was getting on this vehicle with 1 step only)



Here is the hood from the angles shown earlier






Once again the hood before



and after...

Paint was protected with Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant










Banishing buffer trails to the land of wind & ghosts....

Wool pads have their place, but its not on a blue Beemer. The trails arent even staight lol. Nice save on it. Thats a beautiful car.
 
Beautiful recovery !

I try to tell people all the time, do NOT use the edge of the pad, and keep clean pads on the machine always..

Obviously, these guys did not get the email/text/etc...

Thanks for sharing the good, the bad, the ugly, and then the beautiful !
