1988 BMW e30 single stage

[Mless5]

I used PC random orbital for this detail wit Lake pads (I think). Too bad there are really deep scratches and PC won't do a thing. Interior was a mess as well as the engine.

On the engine I used Meguiar's SafeDegreaser 3:1, spray, work it in with a brush, high pressure rinse. 2 times.

Body:
1. Wash 2 times wish dish soap and high pressure.
2. Clay with Meguiar's smooth surface clay and QD.
3. Wash again.
4. Meguiar's # 83 w/orange pad spread at 3, work in at 5.
5. Meguiar's Swirl Remover 2.0 w/white pad spread at 3, work in at 6.
6. Meguiar's Show car Glaze 7 rub in by hand, let it haze/dry, buff by hand.
7. Meguiar's Synthetic Sealant # 21 apply by nahd, let it haze/dry, buff by hand. 2 times.
8. Whip out a 6 pack... Wait, that doesn't belong here.

Before.

Mless5,

Wow, that's amazing! I'm suprised it's SS being a 1988 model year and BMW- it's sure as heck did polish out nice. Also, it looks like a nice ride!

Whip out your sunglasses! The color is so intense that it is glowing in the sun.
