Black BMW 1-Series - Extensive Paint Correction by Unique Car Care

That is an incredible detail! Great job!



I love black cars, but heard BMW black paint swirls when someone breathes on it wrong! So I went with the black sapphire metallic. It seems to hold up better (or the metal flakes hide it?).



The photos make a great advertisement for the Blackfire, too. I have a bottle of JetSeal to go through (which I top every month with Natty Blue), but the Blackfire is on my radar now.
 
You guys did it again. That car looks amazing. The sad thing is I'm sure this is not the only one out there like this. Someone really laid into this car with only 300 miles. there is no reason for that. this is a prime example of true craftsmenship. We all talk about getting swirls out because of improper washing or the tunnels of death, yet for years I fixed alot of cars that came from an auction a dealership where I had worked and was blown away by how people wheel these cars up like this and ship them. Its can be really hard fixing others mistakes. These pictures show before and after, but they don't show is the hard work put in to it. the countless hours massage the paint to true perfection theway guys do. they don't show the sweat put into it. I'd say you guys are true champions! you should feel like them yankees! lol Very top notch.
 
Rick, Ryan... that is simply amazing work and I want you both to know that reading this thread gave me warm, fuzzy and tingling sensation everywhere and that the crystal-clear sun shots on that jet-black car gave me a stiffy like you wouldn't believe. I think I appreciate that more than the owner ever will :).

Thanks Barry!!!!!!!



It's so true, after reading the write up Rick posted here, it honestly looks like it was just an average correction job, but I'll tell you it was a friggin nightmare from hellll. Rick and I could not wait till this car was finished.



At first it was so deeply embedded with silicone fillers, full strength degreaser would not even budge it out of the paint. We then tried wool and all it was doing was sitting and spinning creating NO heat at all. It was not even budging the swirls 1% at 3000 rpm.



I then grabbed some special solvent and let the entire car soak for hours and removed it. The paint was starting to get that squeak to it. We then tried a rotory with wool and finally got heat and correction followed short after. Hooorraayyyy!!!!!! 1 step down, 4 more to go.:laugh:



The fun factor on this car was a big ole 0.



Then 85rd was acting up crazy (wierd) on this paint too, I just stayed focused for many long hours along with having lots and lots of patience trying to perfect the very last 2% of perfection process.:bawling: Jet black can be special at times.



Almost :sign, but we won after the long battle through Jet Black Sea.:laugh:



The after pics do the car no justice at all. When we rolled it out into the sun, we both just inspected it every inch and both came up having very huge grins on our faces. This car came out beyond spectacular!!!!!
 
Excellent work guys! :goodjob



That thing was horrid! Hopefully the owner can get the dealer to pay for at least part of it.m:angry
 
I just want to thank everyone personally for all the nice comments and I appreciate it very much!!!!!



The best part of doing jobs like this is that Rick and I are so very precise and consistant with each other. He takes one side, and I the other and just make it happen till it's perfect. We think so much like each other it is scary.

:xyxthumbs:bow:bow Rick!!! Ryan + a pc??? What is this world coming to?:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I did have my doubts at first, so I played with the pc for a while, and taught myself some very cool techniques. I kind of like it now.:dance



Who said you can't teach and old dawg new tricks?:chuckle:
 
Holy mother of God. These pictures need to sent to BMW to put in their sales brosures. I can't believe my own eyes. Wow! Ryan said this thing was hammered and came out flawless, but this is insane. Mega props to the dynamic duo once again for gracing the pages of Autopia with this art work.
 
No detailer should make more on job than you. Maybe a FEW should make about as much, but no one should make more. All your work is absolute perfection.
