Detailed this 330Ci over the weekend. The customer contacted me through a PM here on autopia after seeing one of my other details. Really cool guy and he seemed very happy with the results.
This was very difficult paint to correct - seemingly more difficult than an '02 740 I recently did. I initially tried some OC with a light cutting pad on the hood, but after a couple passes only had so-so results. I moved on to OHC with a cutting pad for the rest of the car with much better results.
Process:
Wash with foam gun, Meg's GC, sea sponge
Sonus green clay
OHC with Edge yellow pad @ 1500 RPM
OP with Edge blue pad @ 1200 RPM
Prime via PC @ speed 5
AJT
Pinnacle Black Onyx Gel on tires
Before...
Tons of swirls...
Afters...
Close up of the hood. The sun was a bit behind the clouds here. Best pic I could get...
Thanks for looking!
