The owner found me on a BMW forum. He drove by for me to look at the condition first last friday and we agreed that he'd drop it off sunday afternoon and pick it up thursday am as he was leaving for a business trip.
"I don't want a show room shine, I just want the swirls gone" he said - my quick reply was: that is the same thing!
Anyway I told the customer that the amount of money he was willing to spend I can't do 100% correction. Since I know this black paint pretty well, I thought with HD UNO I can get a 90+% in a fair amount of time. I think I ended up closer to 100% than 90%.
I did the correction, EZ and FK1 1000 on monday. I removed 1000 tuesday late afternoon and applied MAGIC WAX (THE LOOK WAS VERY NICE AND REFLECTIVE AFTER 1000 but I thought lets see what this combo can create, plus this car sits outside 24/7 ) Today I removed MAGIC WAX and cleaned up the wheels/exterior windows before taking some pictures.
The left front fender & the 2 doors are repaint, and not very good either (but corrected easier).
