  • 2004 BMW 5 Series Polished

    I had a customer come by who was wanting to see if I could do anything with his paint. He had already seen 2 other detailers who told him he needed to repaint his hood. So, I did a test spot to make sure it would come out to his satisfaction in which it did. He was then afraid that the stains would come back so after 2 weeks or so of driving around with his test spot that I did it still looked great so he decided to proceed with the rest of the car.

    Here is the car as it was delivered. The test spot still visible on the hood.

    The headlights also needed some help

    Typical build up on the wheels

    So I proceed to give the car a good wash

    Not too bad on the test spot

    Another angle of the test spot which also shows how bad the hood was to begin with.

    Holograms visible. I had to be careful on the hood because I wasn't sure how much paint the previous detailers removed.

    I think the previous detailer wanted to leave his initials

    These look like test spots.

    After I did half of the hood I took the car out to the sun to check on the progress

          Nicely done. I specifically like the fact that the locks were cleaned. In this day and age of remote door and trunk locks the keys rarely go into the locks. I have judged clean car events and have found this to be tie beakers. Sweet

            Wow fantastic work. I really like the reflection shot of the hood shoing the garage over head.

            Really? Left their signature in the hood. That is something I have never seen before. What kind of detail monkey would do that???

                Thanks everyone. I went with Ultimate Compound and W8006 pad on a DA. Topped it with some Gold Class wax.
