As you can tell there was alot of dealer installed buffer trails



Trying to figure out how to go about it took awhile. Started off with OC w/ Orange Pad, remove some but not all, bumped up to a Yellow pad and that took care of the buffer trails but didnt touch the swirls. Went up to DACP w/ Orange pad and that took about 90% of the swirls.

After OC and Orange 50/50

The Money Shot

To get the rest the swirls Im probally going to end up investing in a rotary. DACP w/ a yellow didnt do much so Im at my limit with the PC. Sorry for the windows being dirty, I was losing light quick so I pulled it out before doing the windows.
 
silverstallion I believe so, he loves the color and that means Ill be taking closer care of it. Luckily we will both be at the same college this year.



evenflow It works great and always has, but I hate the dusting. I really wish I would of ordered some Opt Hyper Compound to try out. It really left a good finish thought. Very little marring and some hazzing, but OC/OP got it out nicely.
 
Love the colors....wish I could jump from my CL to the 330 :( Great job on the detail! Love the last shot, Mike just did that shot on that 95 Bmw he did. I did a 330 last Friday and forgot to get that shot! :( Again Great Job!!

I believe the shot is standard now for BMWs. Somewhere in the owners manual under photography.
 
The car looks great, couldnt tell it from new! Excellent work! That car is hot (except for the auto :( ), helluva car for a 22 year old!

Got into computers early. Knew more at 15 then most people know now. Started his own webhosting and computer buiness last fall. Doing very well for himself and hasnt even graduated yet.
 
I love that color. Really like the 330 too. I would have it in 5 speed though. Fantastic job!
