Can you say 'HACKED' in those befores?! Great transformation, never was a fan of those rear bumpers though on the Jags:nixweiss: I'll bet you raised the sale price though:xyxthumbs

GREAT JOB on the car! Welcome to the boards. I work for a pre-owned BMW dealer and that keeps me busy. He buys BMW's coming off lease at the auction and I recondition them (paint and interior) before they hit the showfloor.



I also use 3M Perfect-It, Ultrafina (lots of oily splatter...but it really is nice on black cars), a DeWalt and a Metabo buffer (hint: the Metabo is a bunch easier to handle than a DeWalt. It's approx 40% lighter).



Enjoy the forums and post pictures of your work. I've got a bunch of threads on here on BMW's (especially black) so do a search.

Did you find the paint on the hard side? I did a red one a while back and it really didnt want to be corrected. That car looks great...ESPECIALLY when you consider a time crunch!
 
Nice job on the Jag! She is a real looker but unless they are "R" versions they are bit boring (lousy seats, suspension and underpowered). Just my .02. Still a sweet looking car and a nice job especially considering how little time you had with it.
 
What an eye sore in the beginning!!



You did a great job restoring the finish :xyxthumbs



3M products always look great on black paint. I'm sure it will sell quick now.



What brand/type/size wool pad did you use on the defects?
