2009 1 Series BMW DETAIL

Today I worked on a 2009 BMW 1 Series and I have to say that this car is AMAZING! The owner just had the suspension and the wheels installed yesterday.
This detail did not entail a full paint correction. This car is a month old and upon inspection it didn't look too bad. There were very light swirls and light scratches. There were no bonded contaminants so claying the paint was not required. Here is my process:

- Wash with NXT Car wash
- Test spot with #80 and W-8006. The result turned out a bit more hazy than the untested half . I decided to give M105 a try on the G110 and that turned out better.
- M66 on W-8006
- NXT 2.0

Before




Test spot using M105 (105 on the right side)


After making 1 pass with M105 I followed with M66. The test spot is on the right side which made the paint a slight deeper


After making 1 pass with M66 I followed up with NXT 2.0 which made the paint even deeper. The test spot is on the right side


Here are the end results














After I was all done the owner took me on a ride. This car sure can handle the turns. It was insane. It was a great way to end the job.

Now that's how a BMW is supposed to look like

Good Show
