Both cars where exteriors only.



Called Bret to give me a hand on this one as both had to be done in a day.



2000 Carbon Black BMW M5 w/ 123k miles.



Client had just washed it the other day. So we cleaned it up with some ONR and clayed it.



I did say 123k miles:

The entire car was like this.



After M105/yellow edge wool/1700 x4

Ultrafina/blue CCS/1700

Bret cleaned the wheels with ONR and a MF, after drying the wheels he gave them an application of ZAIO.



I think the trunk was worse even though the pics do not show it:

I did the M105 work and Bret followed with the Ultrafina. Bret also did some of the tighter areas with some 4" pads.



After we finished with the polishing we gave the car a Z7 wash using the 2BM with a sheepskin mitt. The car was dried with pakshak WW drying towels.



Tires got Z-16.



3x of ZFX'd Z5pro was applied to the paint and followed with Z8:

The 95 993 Porsche is the client track toy. He still drives it on the street every week or so.



The paint had some staining from some of the chemicals used to remove the rubber marks on the paint from the roadcourse. So the cleint wanted the paint cleaned of the staining and to restore the gloss. Sorry no before shots.



Did a Z7 wash and clayed the paint.



Bret and I broke out the PCs, I used a white CCS pad and Bret used a Megs yellow foam pad. We both used ZPC as a polish. A few areas with more severe swirling where polished with a LC VC yellow pad and ZPC first, then followed with one of the polishing pads.



After a Z6 wipedown 2x of ZFX'd Z2pro was applied to the paint followed by Z8.

Great work Bryan. The M5 is an amazing turn around (as expected) and the 993 is just one of the coolest cars ever made.

Wow!! Please come do that to my car! I have a black 540i in pretty much the same shape.



Thanks Mdot! Atlanta can't be too far away from you. :)

Wow, that M5 was hammered. You stumped me though: what's a 2BM?



Yes it was.... Two bucket method as Wade noted below.

[Insert usual :bow regarding gmblack3a's work]



gmblack3a- At least the second car of the day was a not-bad white one :D



Interesting that you used the PCs on the Porsche instead of a rotaries :think:



Oh, and have a good vacation :D
 
Wow, it is hard to believe that the M5 has 123K miles on it after you worked you magic on it!It looks fantastic. My buddy has the same car that is all blacked out. Awesome turnaround!



The Porsche looks excellent as well!

Thanks Accumulator! The owner was not looking for perfection on his track car, he just wanted some gloss back in the paint and some staining cleaned up. So ZPC and the PC worked perfect.



Just got back from vacation and now I need another to recover. :)
