BMW X5 correction detail

This BMW belongs to the daughter of one of my good clients. I did his 1966 Shelby GT350 Hertz and his 1957 Chevy Bel Air droptop last year. After seeing the work, his daughter wanted her X5 and M3 both corrected. BMW paint can be finicky, but after a few different combinations I settled on Menzerna SIP on a Lake Country green pad on the PCXP for correction of the paint. The B-pillars got D300 on a 4" Lake Country orange pad. Leather was cleaned and conditioned with Zaino Z9 and Z10. The exterior plastic was pretty sun damaged and got several treatments of Zaino Z16 as did the tires. LSP choice was Zaino Z2pro.

Thanks for looking
 
Looks awesome, Jeff... really amped up the gloss and brought it back to life!



Too bad she didn't want the water spots removed from the glass, it really detracts from the final result.

Thanks Charlie! There were minimal swirls and RIDS on this, but the paint was looking dull. Some simple correction brought the gloss right back. Its not the first time someone has asked to skip the waterspotted glass. Not sure why, but thats what they wanted.
 
Beautiful result! I'm shocked that she didn't say "you gotta do the windows" after seening your finished product.
