Why non-paying, you ask? Well, because I gave up charging myself years ago :mohawk

A fwe pictures to follow.

Some answers:

Products: When I got the car, I had to remove the dealer installed swirls. To remove the swirls, I sued DACP with the PC run at a speed of 5 and worked each section until it dusted. Then I followed up immediately with UPP. Normally I would use Klasse AIO between, but I was happy with the surface quality after DACP. The trick is to work is good and long to break down. Followed with Ultimate Gloss Enhancer, then another coat of UPP, repeat once more. Wheels are done with Klasse AIO and the Klass SG, to help make dust removal easier. The tires are dressed with 4 Star Bazooka tire dressing.

Color: Chiaretto Red It is a pretty neat color, has a deep metallic base and in the sun it looks "bronzish" on the edges and then in the shade it turns to a redder burgundy-red color.

Great car, many folks doen't know it but the big bimmers are meant to be driven and are a blast to drive hard! It helps when it looks that great, awesome job. How does the new engine look, any pics of it?
 
UPP Layers

prgallo: Yes, the big boys still drive very well. The power assited shocks which keep the car flat are very noticeable! The only problem with this car is you can scream and not notice the speed and I expect multiple tickets over time.

GSRstilez: 3 Layers of UPP, 2 coats about 5 weeks ago and a 3rd just before these pictures were taken today. I am pretty sure with the concentration of soap I use when washing, and the frequency of washing, I am wearing the layers down quicker than normal.

prgallo: Picture of engine included, I just dusted and ran some 4 Star Vinyl Dressing across the front covers (I know there are streaks :( )
