Car was in bad shape. Swirls and holograms everywhere.

Wow, that BMW was in horrendous shape. Very nice turnaround!

Car is super sick...except for the excessive orage peel in the last picture, bottom right corner!!!

 

[mblgjr]

Just curious...did you polish the lips on the IForged wheels on the second car?



Paint looks GREAT!

 

[howareb]

Can someone turn down the shine a bit. I can't see a thing.



Great job on those babies!!!

maybe its my monitor or your camera, but the bmw still looks kinda greyish.

 

[jesselyons2002]

Do you do the lights when you are correcting the finish ???

maybe its my monitor or your camera, but the bmw still looks kinda greyish.

Looked pretty @#$% black to me. Get your monitor checked. Or maybe you are looking at the sky in the reflection.



Loved the black emblems.

^^ camera was in night mode so it'll look grey.



John, how long does it usually take you to do those 335's when you're using SIP for your first step? Do you still clay the car or you just wash and go straight to polishing?

 

[imported_john1c]

i take about 5 hours to complete a 335i. I clay, sip, 106ff, z5pro

 

[imported_artikxscout]

takes me about the same. For some reason, it takes me longer to clay an alpine white. I just spent around 2 hours today claying a RX400H, it was white so i was able to see all of the contaminants.



Good stuff. I should go to so cal before school starts .

Nice recovery on the 335 John!

How the hell can a car get that bad that fast???

 

[Rickrack]

I know first hand that the new 335's in black have extremely soft and finicky paint. I did a customers car and could not get it to finish off hologram fee with the 106ff. I had to follow behind with FPII.



The paint seems to scratch very easily on solid black. I have not polished any other colors, so I don't know if this is the case other than just black.

 

[imported_john1c]

yes, you are right. the bmw jet black paint is the softest paint ever! but on the other hand, bmw's black sapphire is easy to work with and is not as soft as their jet black

 

[baseballlover1]

Looks GREAT!

 

[SHhhhh]

Are those overlays on the tails?

 

[CBlakeNS]

Nice turn around, both good looking cars too!
