Hard to believe this post is almost 2 years old. We have done this car regularly every six months.

Nice!

My dad's truck is black. It is pretty bad. I hope I can get it looking half that good. I am going to have some fun with it.

To clearify what we were faced with, just about every square inch of the vehicle had buffer trails/hologram. The BMW is maybe a year old and not garaged kept so it also had various scuffs and random scratches in the finish.

After we washed the car I walked around with a roll of tape and marked the areas that needed diamond cut. After those areas were corrected/polished out, the entire vehicle was buffed with DACP (8006 on a rotory) and was chased with DACP (8006 on a DA)

We topped it all with #21. Tires wear #40, wheel wells got hyper dressing, and trim #38.

Great work Joe! But with the "can you believe they pay me" I expected either a pict of you doing a burn-out in someone's ultra exotic, or firing the machine guns on one of those warbirds you do, or something like that.

At first glance I saw what looked like lines going horizontally across the hood. I don't doubt there are holograms to accompany them. Joe did say dealer-induced swirl marks. Gives you a lot of confidence in dealer new-car prep people, huh?



They must have been really bad to require the use of a rotary and Diamond Cut! Isn't that Meguiar's most aggressive compound?

Thanks Scott, Can you believe have have another request to unswirl another dealer swirled BMW!!!!!!

This time it is a M3 and the dealer is going to pick up the bill.

I will post pics.

Joe-excellent work as always. Nice to know you can count on dealer's inability to properly wax a car to keep you busy, eh?

Those scratches were deep! If someone would have shown those to me and asked me to fix them, I would have told them to get some estimates on a re-paint!

Excellent work as usual! It would have taken me 2 days to do that!

Is that an M6? I didn't know they were out on the market yet.
