This car was a two-day job. I didn't do a pre-appointment inspection so I didnt know what I was in for.
After polishing:
Surbuf and M015 on the PC two times...
White foam and 106ff on the rotary
More to follow.
Sadly, this is a new car with less than 4k miles.
A spray paint can in a flattering color exploded in the garage it was parked in.
Thinner and mineral spirits did nothing to remove this paint. Clay also was no match. These kind of details I would do everyday of the week, any improvement...
Its BMW week. 2 M3's and a Z8.
This coupe has about 70k on it. Very well maintained by the owner.

This is a 184,000 mile 2003 BMW Z8. May be the highest mileage in existence
Only after shots, sorry.
Kidding. This car has 1,533 miles since new. Needed a bit of polishing to remove some RIDS in the paint and dash.

I did this....
It was turned into this by a body shop...
Ill be fixing it later this week. The shop was nice enough to hit the entire car with a dry 8" wool pad, Topps All Silicone Nausea, and a disgruntled clean up person.
Its been a while. My Picasa image links used to work in the forum posts, but now do not. What the trick?
When I click the "Insert Image" button and paste a link to the image form Picasa, I get an "Invalid File" reply form Autopia.
I'd post a screen shot if I could....
A collector I do work for just picked this up. I have not seen one in better condition to date. It came delivered clean, but with the typical "I've been quick detailed to death" gloss and swirls. The interior was cleaned with 1Z Einszett cockpit and was very clean form the start...
It's been a while...
A collector I do work for just purchased this well kept Mazda RX-7. It came to him very clean with the typical "it's been quick detailed for years in the garage" finish. Very glossy and swirled.

I tried Lake Country Snappy Pad Cleaner for the first time last week. At first, I didnt want to use a product based on a powder for my pads.

I use Optimum products and have no complaints with any I have used to date.
I have read posts of people getting 3-4 months from Opti-Seal, but not me. Im lucky to get 4 weeks.
By durability, I'm speaking of water beading and ease of washing. I notice the beads stop forming at 4 weeks...
I always find myself going back to Poorboys Spray and Rinse on extremely neglected and dirty wheels. Diluted right, its never failed to clean baked on brake dust.
I also have some 4 year old waffle weave drying towels from Steve which are STILL my go to drying towels. These things are...
I finally got out to go knock out some cars today. I left my cameras card in my computer. F40 was just a wash and wax. The E46 M3 was a full blast.
Whats missing??
Oh, there it is...
