Last week I showed you the damage my Mother-in-law did to the hood of my 2006 BMW 550i while she was trying to be helpful and "dust" my car. I spent some time over the weekend attempting to repair the swirl-fest.



After washing and clay ...



1) Menzerna Intensive Polish using yellow cutting pad and my Griot's Random Orbital (2 rounds overall, 3 times on a couple of spots)



2) Zaino Z-PC Fusion using red pad (twice overall)



3) Jeffs Prime using white polishing pad (1 pass)



4) Z-5 Pro (2 layers) with Z-8 finish

Great job. Did you every figure out what see used to "clean it up" with?

That's exactly what I want to know! The pictures made me cringe and I now realize the damage was far worse than I originally thought from the first picture you posted.



I still think that she used a broom to dust it off haha.



:goodjob on the cleanup!
 
Looks like she used some 120 grit sand paper. So when are the funeral services ?:D



You did a great job on the car. :goodjob
 
I am soooo glad to see you were able to take care of that mess, especially hearing that you were able to accomplish it with an orbital rather than resorting to a rotary. Congrats on the nice work. :2thumbs:



I have to admit, I would have felt like crying if I'd been in your shoes.
 
Great job!



Good Lord though, WHAT did she use?!?!?!?! I can't imagine anything other than maybe a push broom that could cause so much damage.
 
nice recovery!!!



P.S. 550 must be a bad *** car, I was driving a 545 stick the other day (new body style, maybe '04?) man that can had some good power and shifted awesome.
