    Black BMW 335i

    This car was for a new customer of mine and it seems that the BMW is a common car for me to do. I don't mind. I find that the paint is easy to work on. Here were my steps:
    Wheel Brightener on wheels followed by power washer
    Body Solvent on lower half
    wash with Hyper Wash
    clay with Last Touch 1:1
    1 pass DA with M83 on W8006
    1 pass DA of #20 on W9006

    Here is before:

    I was afraid of this happening. The pics are not showing up. I went to the picture icon and cut and paste the url from my gallery in the box. Does anyone know or have an idea of what I did wrong? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

      You need to put the pictures in a gallery, not a personal album... however, if you click the image button and paste the direct link - it will work.

                      Hahaha. I never noticed that. Good eye. I am thinking that it is a bird, otherwise I have no idea.

                            wow, you went from #83 to the LSP?

                            I have heard horror stories about how soft newer Jet Black BMW's are and I would think that would have almost certainly left marring...if not, awesome, because I have one scheduled for this week!

                            Did you get a chance to take a look at it in direct sun? sure looks glossy in the pics...well done
