Detailer from Vancouver Auto show must have been fired

scrammer · 03-25-2016, 09:58 PM

I was at the Vancouver autoshow today and was happy to see the M4 GTS in Frozen Gray and an M5 also in Frozen. As I looked a little closer it was clear that the paint on the M5 had been destroyed on the rear half of the car by a power polisher. It looked like one of those a demo cars where someone said, "Let me demonstrate what not to do to your Frozen paint".

However the show must go on, so there it was in the middle of the ///M line-up trying to look good!

As a Frozen E92 M3 owner i felt compelled to share!

That is cringeworthy, wonder if it's going to need a repaint.

That would definitely need a respray!

On the bright side, it's nice to know what effect polishing actually has on the frozen paint.

That primer needs a topcoat anyway. No harm done.
