Today's detail - BMW 528 lots of pictures
1999 BMW 528i

Most of the right side of the car's paint has acid rain damage.

Swirls everywhere etc...

The inside was in very good shape, all I did was vacuum, clean with woolite and protect leather with Lexol.

Here is a before picture.

autopia clay
ssr2.5 with pilishing pad @ 6
FK1 2180 sealant with blue polishing pad @ 4
FK1 pink wax by hand
Meg's hot shine on tires
AA on wheel wells

I liked the results so much on the red Ranger tuesday that I wanted to see how this trio would work on black. Too bad the sun was gone by the time I took the after pictures.

Re: 1999

before - right side. You can see the the swirls as well.

after - the swirls are gone, so is the sun

The car did have too many scretches though. I was able to remove most of them but some were beyond a PC or rotary.

:up for SSR 2.5

Thanks!

I went to their website - www.fk1.com

Zesty-man: Thanks you too. Yes it looks nice but what a pain to detail as the leaves fall on the car in the buckets constantly.

Looks Great!!!! Black can be a pain in the butt-but it's worth it when you get results like that!!
