Detailing and Cleaning
Sponsored by: Autogeek.net Discuss waxing, cleaning, detailing and everything in between here to keep your bimmer looking its very best.
As you can see in the pics, paint was heavily swirled and had a couple noticeable scratches. The worst part were some waterspots that were etched into the paint and couldn't be removed 100%. Results were impressive though. When I first saw the car, it didn't look as bad, but I ended up having a friend help me out so I could finish faster. He went after me with random orbital and #80. Best part is Eric(owner) was very impressed with the end result, and that's all that matters.
I worked for about 7.5 hours and my friend 2, so total of about 9.5 man-hours.
