Second paint correction | Dad's black 335i

[Chaseme]

I have no clue why; but my dad's practically brand new (January 2010) 335i was horribly marred and had very bad surface contamination.



Every time I would look at the car in the daylight it would make my cringe. As you can see below; it was bad.



You can see the haloing from a distance

Rough shape; take the hood for example

During:



Washed, clayed (took me forever and the bar is now in the trash), then off to use the PC to polish.



Left side - untouched

Right side - corrected

After:



As my second time doing a paint correction, I'm pretty happy with the results. There are still some fine scratches that you can see (I'm assuming a rotory would need to get those out). Regardless, the black looks deeper, darker, and way glossier.



Compared to how it looked before; I would say it looks ten times better.

Nevermind that sunflare and the little tree seed that is seen above my head floating.

Materials used:

Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II

Sonus Ultra Fine

Porter Cable 7424XP

Adam's Swirl and Haze Remover

Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish Gloss

P21S Carnauba Wax

Looks great. Your Dad should be happy.

Chaseme- Wow, what an improvement! I bet your dad is really happy with it.



FWIW, I don't think you'd need a rotary to do more correction, just a more aggressive pad/product combo. But then, I dunno if you really need to/ought to take off more clear on your dad's driver anyhow.

Very true. I'll be doing a friend's A4 this weekend. I have a yellow pad that I'll test out for more aggressive corrections.
