Scheerspeed Detailed: DINAN BMW 540i Revived!

[ScheerSpeed]

Jet Black BMW 545I



This car was brought to me pretty beat up. my task, just as the black 745LI (same owner) was to make it as perfect as possible. the paint on this car looked like it hadn't really had and TLC in a while... there were many water spots all over the place, and swirls and scratch galore. anyways ill let the pictures do the talking.

wow. that car was indeed hammered badly. The turn around was great. Nice work. Pretty nice area to work in as well. You live in that building? I believe i remember seeing one of your other details in the same structure.

DINAN! That's a tasty car.:drool: Look at that supercharger under there! When my girlfriend (now wife) and I were in Cali., we drove to Dinan just so i could see their building. They weren't open, and she thought it was pretty boring, but I could kind of see inside, where there were all kinds of Dinan cars up on lifts having stuff done.

BTW I am so copying your process and group of products when I get back to polishing my '94 e34 this spring. Do find the anti-Insekt takes 2-3 apps to get down through thick bugs? I like it, but seems to take a lot, which gets expensive. You used SVAX on the wood trim, but did you ever try their wood trim-specif. product? Wonder how that works. Great job on that car!
