Client just bought this M5 a few months ago. The front panels where riddled with chips and nasty road rash. So he had the hood, both front fenders and both bumper covers repainted.

Looks like the body shop washed the repainted panels with a truck brush.

Here are a few in progress shots, no final polishing on these yet:

The remainder of the correction was done with Meguiars MFCP/D300.



The finicky JB paint was finished out with 085RD on a flat black pad.

This is what remained of the mess on the trunk, my PTG says dont go any deeper.

LSP is a sealant that I have been testing for a while, durability seems to be very good so far.

Looks awesome Bryan. Those sun shots are amazing. The power of the random orbit!



Thanks Berry! Da POWER of the MF pad and D300. :) I'm trying out a new camera, its a Panasonic DMC-GF2 which is a micro 4/3 model. I'll see if I can get the video posted soon.

Awesome work Bryan..



Thanks Pat! Hope to find you are doing well. Is the weather getting better up there yet?
 
gmblack3a- I thought I'd already posted on this thread, but I don't see it and can't remember what I'd asked you about :confused:



Anyhow...how far did you go before the ETG readings said "stop"? Just wondering what you considered a safe stopping point.
