2005 BMW 525 - Black

[awahl63]

Alright here is an 05 525 that received a couple bad dealer washes the owner wanted me to take care of. Owner is definitely an Autopian and keeps the car + wheels/wells very clean! Owner emailed me the pictures...Very fine looking automobile.



Process:

Wash with Gold Class

Clay with Hi-tech body sponge

Menzerna SIP via LC Yellow 1800 RPM

Menzerna 106FF via LC White 1500 RPM

Optimum Opti-Seal by hand

Enjoy

Beautiful detail! :bow Now that is how black should look. Excellent work.



How much dusting do you get with 106?



Do you have to rewash the car after polishing?

Looks good! I love black bmw's. Sure it's not an '06?

I like them both. Both work as expected which is very very good.

Dripping!



Thoughts on the Opti-Seal?

I'm a fan of Opti-Seal.

Beautiful detail! :bow Now that is how black should look. Excellent work.

Dusting wasn't a huge problem but it did dust. To get the oils off I always rewash.

Pretty sure...because that's what the owner told me.



Thanks guys

Awesome work! That's the exact color I wanted for my new 335 coupe but having heard some of the seasoned pro's having correction problems with the new 3 series Jet Black I decided on Black Sapphire (metallic).



Andrew - that is absolutely stunning and black like that looks like a mirror.



Toto - have you worked on any E92 Jet Blacks yet?
