  • SHOW SHINE by KC Turning a 12 Years old BMW E39 to show room condition,

    My friend partner, was pretty unhappy with his current paint condition.....as his 2nd hand E39 was not in a great shape...as planning to splash $$$$$ to repaint

    frankly speaking silver from this distance look great



    a prefecft colour to hide all paint imperfections

    but to a true UDM lover......you just want it

    before


    to this





    as he has not come across a single detailing product can rectify this defect......swirls, scratches..




    13 years old stain on the steel trims


    now u see


    scratches on the front bumper





    we had the opportunity to meet last sun & got it full corrected

    both interior & exterior....

    Then step down to Makita rotary with Meguiars Cutting pad with Meguiars M#105 speed 1 to spread & speed 3 to polish

    Polish with Makita rotary meguiars polishing pad with Meguiars M#205 speed 1 to spread & speed 2 to polish & speed 1 to finish

    i am happy to save another ride from paint shop & did some good thing to the envioroment

    Thank God it turn out well

        Great question, and we're sure it could be (and maybe should be) a huge write up in its own right!

        KC, your work is fabulous as always, but the work on the stone chips was simply.......


        ......wait for it.......



        ...... MAMA MIA!!!!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                    thanks for your kind words...


                    here u goes....the touch up paint look erghhh on the hood, silver is one of the hardest colour to match...it ages quickly


                    notice all the paint

                    ta da



                    how i did it, i cut away all the touch up paint while compounding with LC wool & Megs 105

                    & once these odd colour removed, u have a even original colour...without distortion...did i repair the chips ?????nope...I wish i am God....although the paint is chipped away...it is not as obvious as touch up paint

                      Something about driving a just detailed car is so nice. Looks great. Sad that you finished during the night, but still a big improvement
