Been awhile since I've put something up, been busy and doing tons of maintenance work lately. So I did this Old School BMW 325 for a client who wanted it treated right. He put a bunch of money in the front end and exhaust and wanted the paint back new shape. Had some staining on the passenger side from the car wash. Car has 78k on the clock sits for long periods of time. Heavy oxidation on the SS paint, so I expected big things in terms of gloss! Interior just needed a good cleaning, looked great for its age. This turned out to be a longer than usual compounding process as I went through all the usual suspects(105,205,203,OHC,OHP,7,83,UF) and I finally settled on Meg's Reconditioning Cream on a LC Cyan pad with Flex3401 worked the best. Even wool on the rotary wasn't going to cut it without multiple followup steps. Turned out really well, customer liked that looked like new paint!
Washed with Dawn 2x's
Ironxed and clayed
Flex 3401 LC Cyan with Meg's 151
Sonax FE on wheels 1.5 hrs on them alone
OPC on interior
Folex on carpet
Opti-Seal
Adams VRT tires
Perl in the wells
50/50's show the oxidation removed, no sun on the day of pickup.
Next up Audi's S4, I have taken care of this care since it was new and the owner is a car guy and really has taken great care of the car and very little correction needed to be done. He wanted to upgrade from Opti-Seal to Opti-Coat. Also wanted Tuff-Shine system on his tires. I think Opti-Coat looks way better than Opti-Seal on Audi Silver! No befores as there was not much to see.
ONR wash
ONR wipedown in engine compartment
Flex 3401 OPT Polishing MF pad with GPS
ISP wipedown
Opti-Coat also on wheels
303 in engine compartment
