BMW 328i M Sport - receives a new car prep with Opti Coat installation.

This beautiful brand new estoril blue BMW 328i M Sport receives a new car prep with Opti Coat installation.

The car was received relatively clean, however we found hair line scratches in clusters, some light swirls and marring from washes, and the b pillars were the normal lightly scratched and scuffed up piano black we have come accustomed to on cars with these type of trim pieces.  

The final results were great and I believe the customer was quite happy with the work performed.

Outstanding! 


 


Even though the before shot didn't look too bad, the paint on the new BMWs is so freaking hard even minor stuff takes a lot of work.
