My Collection of BMW Details (LOTS OF PICS)

[Lefteris.]

Over the past month I have gotten my hands on quite a few BMW's and I'd thought I would just combine them all into one thread. My progress in taking pics gets better as am able to start taking pics of the scratches and swirls.

Sorry for the lack of before's I jumped right into it not wanting to finish before dark. I did grab one of the hood to give you an idea of how it was. It was pretty swirled up, but I got pretty much most of the imperfections out.

Sorry for my lack of and ****** quality pictures, it was a really bad day for me to detail. This one person really just made my day super ****** and I couldnt focus as much as I would have liked, pretty much ruining my fun on the car. I was pretty much cursing the whole 8 hours I detailed this car because I was just furious. But who cares, ill take care of that person...

I literally ran to the car to back it out of the garage to take some shots as there was sun literally for a minute outside, which allowed me to take some shots. Then it went away again and went back to being miserable
