ScheerSpeed: Jet Black BMW 745Li Revived!

This car had been repainted about 6 months ago, and the bodyshop did a horrible job finishing the paint. in addition the car had sat outside without being moved for two months so it got a fair share of abuse and contamination.

The owner told me to give it all i had and make it as perfect as possible so thats just exactly what i did!

the car took almost two weeks for me to finish. (i was working on it during finals so i couldnt work every day)

you can see how the previous detailer didnt tape up any edges and left polish/wax residue all over the place







all taped up and ready to go











heres a before and after. on the left side is the result of two passes with SIP and an orange pad, in the middle is untouched, and the right is two passes of M105




M105




SIP






more before shots

after



















105 is really dusty....





my friend stopped by the house to take a look at what i was doing and he was amazed at the reflection





after PO85RD final polish









after re-washing the car. look at how the Swissvax Mystery makes water bead up




tackling the dirty floormats





Finished!








































Thanks for looking!
