2009 335 paint correction detail

tdekany · 02-16-2010, 12:21 AM

This car was in pretty good shape for a black car so the detail went on fairly smooth. There were waterspots everywhere but must have been new ones because they were gone in no time.
Just a few "befores" as I wanted to finish it in one day.

HD UNO GRAY WOOL FLEX (TRUNK

UPDATE - The vehicle was on display (and a huge hit as BMW wasn't at the show) at the Portland Auto Show.

Excuse the ugly guy.

One really nice "attention to detail" step in a detail is to:

-Clean wheel as per regular
-Finish car as per regular
-Drive cars and use brakes heavily just around the block
-Remove rust dust and given wheels a final wipe down

The rotors will look way better and the client will not have the ugly rust dust that will accumulate on his nicely detailed wheels.

Car looks great, hope you like this tip.
