whoever learned how to use a rotary surely shouldn't have done it on a black BMW!!! With all the damage instilled in the paint, 16 hours was needed to bring it back 95%. There were a few rids here and there, and chasing the superficial remaining "light scratches" on a DD black BMW is not reasonable!



At first glance, I looked over the car while it was pretty dirty. i didnt see just how bad the holograms were! I could see a few here and there, but they didnt seem all that deep! Well after a thorough wash, the real damage was revealed!



It took over an hour to find a combo that would work and finish down well enough. I tried going with a 3 step, but it just wasnt happening as too many defects remained...it needed a 4 step process!
