This is a BMW 335 I did last week the owner lives out in the country and is a rep for a large audio chain so it sees its share of gravel roads and highway miles. The car was covered in tar from tar and chip country roads. I have probably two hours in just tar removal. The rest of the car had your normal 85,000 miles worth of rids, scuffs and scratches. The hood was probably the worst. I ended up using M 105 and a yellow flat LC pad with a 849x rotary. The rest of the car was then polished using a GG 6, D300 and MF cutting pads and M205 with finishing pads. It was then sealed with BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection. The interior was a mess to say the least. I cleaned it up using OPC and CG leather conditioner on the seats. For the carpets I used APC+ and LGM. The floor mats were scubbed and then power washed to get all of the grit out of them. He had the rubber mats over the carpets mats. All of the interior vinyl was treated with CarPro Perl at 1:5. While I was at it I also did a mini review on Mothers Aluminum wheel cleaner comparing it to Maguires Wheel Brightener which you can read here.

Now on to the pictures.
The car as it arrived. Covered in bugs, dirt and caked on brake dust on the wheels. The tar wouldn’t reveal its ugly head until later. That’s when everything came to a stop and the day started to drag. Man I hate old setup tar!
Work cut out for me on this one. This really made me want a new PF51 vac.
