Noob Paint Correction Attempt on Jet Black 2007 335I
I decided to take the plunge and bought all the detail equipment I thought I needed to correct the paint on my 2007 335. Detailed in the following in order:
Wash and Dry
Clay Bar
Poorboys World SR2.5 on orange pad
Poorboys World SR1 on white pad
Poorboys Black Hole Glaze on black finishing pad
Jet Seal 109 1 Coat Applied by hand and machined buffed with micro fiber pad.
I went over parts of the car that I thought needed more attention with the 2.5.
I unfortunately did not have the right lighting equipment so I was not able to see the fruits of my labor as i was polishing. I did take it outside a few times to give it a look down.
I knowingly proceeded on the SR1 knowing I still had a degree of fine scratches. I reasoned this out of my inexperience thinking the glaze and sealant would help fill in the remaining scratches.
I don’t have a good close up pic of the paint but i would have to say my car looks great from 2 feet away but if you get real close you can still see a few scratches here and there.
The other flaw in my work that is bothering me was machine buffing of the jet seal 109. I believe this has given the car a hologram look. If anybody else has had these issues or think im off base please chime in!
Anyways here are some pictures of the finished product.
