​

Here is a Jet black BMW that was tricky to deal with during the detail. One side corrected in about 1hr45min, and the other side took over 3 hours to clean up the same. I cant tell you what the car has been through, but one fender cleaned up super easy and then the hood and door didn’t, one side was rock hard needing multiple rounds of compounding to clear up while the other needed just one.​

Before shots – The horror!​

​

I’ll take you around the car as I walked around it…shaking my head the entire time!​

​

​

DEEP scratches that were reduced and blended, but not removed completely​

​

​

Apparently this car had some spot scratch repair​

Next up is the clay process and what was really on the paint!

And this is the size section all that junk came out from:

Contaminated much?

Here is a piece of megs blue clay I tried using but it wasn’t getting the overspray, the deeper dirt and debris:

Here is a split shot for the test section

A mid detail before and after shot:

And after (the deep scratches mentioned above)

About lunch time I was offered this scrumptious meal:

Back to work and with me fighting the time factor (12 hours), here are the after shots all said and done. I would put this car at about 90% and not back for what I could get out with a solid two step process.
