Hey guys,
A couple of weeks ago I worked on this silver 745. It's a 2002 and I don't believe the paint has ever been properly polished out. Some type of protection was on it not sure what but it had to be removed completely in order for me to see the true condition of the paint.
This is right before I gave it it's first wash. The wheels were in bad shape along with the headlights.
So I began with the wheels, tires and wheel wells.
I rinsed the car down to get any loose dirt off
A second wash removed any wax/sealants it may have had.
Once the car was dried off I was able to easily see more of the paint defects and scratches that may have been covered up
Bonded contaminants was all over the paint and glass
50/50
More defects under the light. Especially on light colored cars I like to work in the dark with one 500w lamp or smaller to be able to better see the defects and see my progress
There was a pretty good key scratch on the passenger side door that I was able to minimize
After
The tail lights had some bad swirls that needed to be taken care of as well
Trim needed to be brought back to life as well 50/50
Headlights were in bad shape and I did my best to try and clear these up
Hood emblem also in bad shape
Replaced
It was a cloudy day so I tried to get the best sun pics I could
Interior was a simple wipedown and vacuum. This customer also has a BMW X5 that is in worst shape. We've scheduled a detail on that for later in the month. I look forward to that one as well. Thanks for viewing.
