2010 BMW 335 I Coupe

This car came to us with swirls and huge haze marks. The customer called me upset about what a local detailer recently did to his new car. What the detailer did was rip thru the car in 3 hours with a compound and glaze. i believe this was not necessary at all especially on a new car. Damage done. The car was fixed with M105 - SIP - PO85RD
Last Step = Swissvax Blau Weiss

What was done -

It seems most body shops and "PROFESSIONAL DETAILERS" insist on using compound and wool pads to polish every card that passes by.

on a different note, awesome detailing

great job! Why does one side have painted reflectors and one side doesnt?

i get why body shops get these results they are not paid to finish the car off just paint/wetsand/compound/glaze.

but a pro detailer is a completely different story..no excuse.
