I think that BMW took a look at Jesse's posts' and decided, "hey, lets give eric a chance"...LOL



I couldnt believe this car had the damage it did being brand new! I mean, a few swirl marks and holograms are one thing, but the severe scratching??? YIKES!



Started out with a sealant stripping wash...didnt do it completely, so I ended up doing some IPA wipedown to help rid the car of the dealer installed protection. prior to the wash, I looked over the car in the overcast skies, with my LED...couldnt really see too much damage. once the protection was lifted and the halogens were turned on, it was a different story! Luckily the BMW jerez black paint cleaned up nicely for me!



Process:

CGWG

no clay, was already done one week prior by the dealership prior to their sealer install

spot compounded 7 areas with deep imperfections x2 with 105/pfw/1500

whole car polished once over with PCXP and tangerine hydrotec pad with Menzerna 203 (I love this as a one step)

I then decided to take this to the next level and applied DWG to it with a black pad...It made a good difference to warrant the time (free again, lol)

After the DWG, I applied BFWD with a green sealant pad (used less product than with a black pad, I'll switch pads now)

gave the jambs a quick wipe down with megs LT/water and a vacuum to the interior.



Total time - 7 hours on the dot from arrive, unload, work, load up, departure

Good part: he signed up for my maintanence plan and I will now see that car once a month for a maintanence detail to keep it looking like this from now on!!!!

Here are the glossy afters. there wasnt much in terms of major swirling, so a direct before and after wasnt really possible. i just took some of the corners, front and back (just for patrick!!!!) Overcast anyway...

I liked this one!
 
Looks good eric but i could never own a black car again LoL.



So do you have people sign a contract of some sort for the maintenance detail packages you offer or is it just a verbal contract?
 
sign a contract...



its a smokin deal that I have going on...but it has to be a new car, or have me detail it to a like new condition, then start the contract from there.



no matter what work I think the car needs, its only $100 per month!!! (one visit, unless maintanence washes are built in)



typically, the car will see about 25 hours over the course of the year over 12 visits.

man sweet deal. So is the contract on like carbon paper so you get a copy and so does your client or you just have them sign two copies?



Heck if you don't mind PM me the contract, wouldn't mind taking a look at it or something.



Sounds like a good idea. I have thought about that before but never did really go heavy into the contract thing.



Pretty much guarantee's you some income. Now what's the duration of the contract and what happens if they break it?
 
Looks awesome in the afters. :)



Personally, I would have refused the car had I been the buyer. A dealership gets a ton of customers refusing cars because of crap like that they will either be out of business or forced to handle the cars properly.
