I had the chance to work on a BMW Z4 with a good friend of mine. We started a little before 11, and proceeded to work until about 3 o'clock. The car was only a wee 17,000 miles old, and it was well taken care of. I could tell that it still had wax on it, and there were few swirls on it, just some scratches from the constant everyday grind and occasional flying dust.
We started with the wheels, washed with APC mixed with some Gold Class Shampoo, and then used a sponge to clean the wheels. Aside from some minor curb rash, the wheels turned out great. We put some NXT Liquid Wax on them and then set off on the rest of the car.
We used a Versa- Angle Body Brush and Gold Class Shampoo, it did a wonder in removing dirt and grime, car looked ready to go, but we still had some work to do.
I broke out the G100 and investigated the swirls. There were very few, so I used #80 to get about 80% of them off, and because I wanted to use the least agressive method for removal, so I had my friend go back and remove the deeper scratches with Scratch-X.
I found the paint to be hard, which is a nice contrast to the usual I encounter. We were able to remove 95% of the swirls, and we agreed to move onto waxing.
We used #21 as our primary LSP. #21 added significant depth and gloss that is hard to come by, and is unmatched by any other product. I dont believe I have seen this much depth in color in a car. And just for kicks, we threw some #16 on the hood for added protection... Its proably going to rain in about an hour or so in Dallas.
Anyways enjoy the pictures.
