Car: 2008 BMW E92 335i

Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction

Comments:
- Swirls, scratches and major water marks on exterior. Some deeper scratches were reduced. There was also pitting on the clear coat (after being resprayed) - mainly on the bonnet.
- The black sapphire metallic paintwork was really looking flat and more grey than black. There was no evidence of metallic flake which was hidden by the watermarking and dirt build up.
- Paint was rough like sandpaper and desperately needed decontamination
- Gloss and reflection restored to paintwork and that deep black colour of BSM was revealed

- Unfortunately, it was raining so after shots are very minimal


Random shots:

50/50 on bootlid - the clear coat was flawed from a bad paint job, but notice the clarity on the right side compared to the haziness on the left:

Wow as always I love your work

I have always despised jeeps for their poor quality, gas guzzling engines etc but damn the SRT's are a cool ride and the latest jeep range is keenly priced.

We just finished a Stage 1 detail on this car: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...5321643&type=3

But this is probably the most important part of the detail - deep scratch removal & reduction:



No photo editing trickery here. Just some hard and long hours spent correcting this boot lid through a 4 - 5 stage paint correction.
This is basically the last resort before a paint shop respray is necessary and is on strict request by the owner.

Tom, not sure to be honest, but someone 3rd party had damaged the owners bootlid. When I first saw the photos he sent me, I thought a paint shop repair was in order, but on arrival we gave it a go and got some pretty fantastic results
