got to do a 330ci today. car was immaculate!
paint was in very good condition, just some light swirling . cobwebbing.
colour was a very dark metallic green / blue
pictures arent the best.
products used:
optimum no rinse
meguiars #80
meguiars #21
pinnacle souvern
gave it a wash with optimum no rinse and bought it into the garage to inspect under lights. taped up the trim.
gave it a quick clay, but the cars paint was pretty clean, clay bar was clean.
here is the hood after a wash

tried menzerna po73cp on a portion of the bonnet, took out 80% of the swirls.
decided to try po106ff on another portion.
for some reason the 106ff only removed about 60% of swirls.
i then switched pads, and moved onto #80
that tended to finish what i was after.
here is the bonnet after a couple of passes

rear quarter after 2 passes.. can see my car on teh reflection

some light cobwebbing on the rear pillar

one pass of #80

boot done with 2 passes

another bonnet shot. this section of the hood got po106ff, then 3 x #80

polished off the whole car, side mirror and door handles got scratch-x on them.
here is the bonnet with #21 applied

then topped with beauty wax souvern..
finished


great depth

love the LED's

me shot


i found applying souvern difficult... gave me alot of high spots.. tried not to use too much product either...
overall i was pretty happy with the end result.
