        Hi jcma81,

        Your BMW looks great!

        M83 is a fairly aggressive cleaner/polish, did your car's finish have a lot of swirls and scratches before your started?

            Thanks for all the comments. Mike, there where a lot of swirls secondary to the dealership "free" washes. In fact DACP did not get rid of them all. I also had #9 but from past experience I figured I should go ahead with #83. Was this a bad approach?

              Nope not at all, besides that... the proof is in the pudding, (as the old saying goes...)

                Have a 2005 just like it, but in black/tan. It has terrible swirls and buffer marks from the dealer.. I need to get out and do a full tape up like the 1991 BMW that mike was going to machine polish.

                How did you find the paint to be delicate or no ? im going to be using a rotary not sure on polish choice yet, if its going to be meguiars probley DACP.

                  How is Bimmer paint to work with? I have an silver M3 next weekend scheduled.

                    I would have to say that BMW paint isn't delicate. I went over the car with DACP and there are still some light swirls. But then again I'm not that experienced so I'm not sure how much help my opinion is. I will say that DACP followed by NXT looks great on white though.

                      Im planing on going either with an 83 and 80 combo or SSR2.5 and SSR 1 followed by adams BSG and then pinnacle signature.

                        I'm not that familiar with the poorboy products nor the pinncale line either. I would love to see some before and after shots if you get a chance

                          What pad did you use in combination with M83?
