Products used:

KLASSE AIO - Wheels
Megs Clay Bar
3M Tape
My brother purchased an 07 335 Coupe and it was in fairly great condition. No major scratches...only swirls.
From a distance the car looks fine:
However, upon inspection we see that the swirl marks are everywhere!
The first step was to give the car a nice thorough car wash using the 2 bucket system and grit guards.
After the wash the car started looking good...but not good enough.
We then used some clay to get rid of any contaminants that the wash left behind.
Up next we taped up the car using 3M painters tape.
We used M105 and an orange LC pad to tackle the swirls:
After the M105 we went on to use M205, and took the car outside to see if there were spots we missed or needed a second pass.
Our goal was 85% removal of swirl marks, and it seems that we achieved that with only 1 pass of M105 and M205, both with an orange pad.
Next up we were ready for Megs NXT 2.0, we applied it by hand, you can see it here on the hood:
We used Megs Tire Dressing and Klasse AIO for the wheels.
By the time we finished the sun was already down so we couldn't get too many good shots, but you can definitely see the gloss and reflection in the white paint.
The swirls were gone for the most part, except for RIDS like these...but we were happy with the results since it is a daily driver.
