BMW M5
Customer bought this a few months ago and was paintwork was in a very bad state. We had decided when I viewed the car few weeks back that the best option would be to get the bodyshop to do their work first as a few area's needed respraying mainly front bumper but he decided enough was enough as couldnt bare looking at it in the state it was in so decided to bring the job forward
Some of the defects
PTG readings showed healthy depths all around averaging between 130-140 microns.
Correction was done mainly with 3M FCP and 3m green compounding Pad. With the paint rock hard and the defects deep it required 2-3 hits.
These before and after pics are after correction and yet to be refined
