This is a regular client of mine. Originally from Germany and a
die-hard BMW guy.
The car was modded and tuned in Germany by Hamann/Schnitzer.
The doors , however , were done (poorly) here in the US.
After about 3 months of fouling up the door mechanisms ,
which still hasn't been completed to satisfaction,
the dealership decided to reward his patience with an equally
unprofessional detail/rotary swirl and hologram job...free of charge!
Lucky him.
Now this guy DRIVES this car. He wants it kept clean and presentable,
but doesn't expect perfection. He understands that a hard driven , black
daily driver won't keep perfect for long. Even with that in mind, he
was horrifically underwhelmed with the body shop's freebie and told
me that it's crap like that that reminds him why he'll only bring his
baby to me. (A very personally rewarding comment).
The befores were taken two weeks ago before the initial detail...he was
pressed for time and I couldn't capture the results at that time.
The afters were taken today following a maintenance wash and wax.
(He decided , against better advice , to wash it himself in the meantime
and inflicted some minor marring :angry . I properly chastised him
and he agreed to let me handle those duties on a weekly basis).
Even without his miscue, the car was only about 90-95% swirl free,
but definitely acceptable for a black DD.
Process:
Wash (CG Citrus)
Clay
Wash
OP w/ Green P2 via Rotex
RMG w/ Red LC via PC
AW
Touched up today with CG 50/50
Befores:
Afters:
I know the afters don't properly reflect the specific corrections made,but....:nixweiss
Thanks for lookin'
