This 135i belongs to a friend of mine, who takes good care of it. As such, no real correction was needed except for a couple of spots that required a little extra attention. There are no before shots since the car was recently washed and in great shape anyway. All we wanted was to boost the gloss a little, then protect it with OptiGuard. Really, I just love his car and had fun working on it, so I wanted to share it with you guys.



Process:

ONR wash

Clayed with Clay Magic blue, didn't really need it though.

Wheels pulled and cleaned with ONR and Tarminator, then sealed with OptiGuard

Spot Correction with Megs D300 on MF cutting pad

M205 on tangerine HydroTech pad

IPA wipedown on paint and wheels

Optimum OptiGuard on paint, wheels and glass.

Parked next to my E46. I wish it was in my garage all the time!



Thanks for looking.

Oh, something else... is Opti-Guard an older version of Opti-Coat?

They changed the name of the original version to Opti-Guard after the consumer version, Opti-Coat 2.0, came out.

Very nice! :)



Detailed a 135 last week, had those same wheels-fun to clean, aren't they? ;)

Thanks Scott. I saw that red 135, but I didn't notice it had Breytons as well. These weren't so bad since we pulled them off to clean and coat them. But I really don't like how the painted lip is under and behind the spokes. It would have been a PITA if we hadn't pulled them, but with them off I could reach that lip from the inside!
