E92 Jet Black Paint Correction
Day one results, follow up visit next week. New windshield (old trim / rock chip) and new OEM hood roundel will be installed then as well. My aftermarket carbon style roundel has not held up to the heat of being on a black hood in the sun.

Looks good!
I love Jet Black when it is detailed.. But keeping it clean is a PITA.

The differences between BSM and Jet are under the clear, so it would be the same. Correction only touches the clear. The idea with BSM is that the sparkles hide issues in the clear because it distracts the eye. To me it just looks dirty.

My detailer has an expert sense of how to polish. Before bringing it to him I got it 101% clean with the two bucket method etc. Then he used clay bar with glass cleaner on the entire car and then Meguiar's 3 step and did all of the polishing by hand. He used 3M aluminium polish on the window trim also by hand. It took him all day!

I'm starting to believe that the key to 100% hologram elimination is hand polishing with no DA machine

looks great! i did m205 on my f10 jet black and didnt experience any holograms. just gotta take your time and make sure you do a nice light final pass on the section you are working with the DA.
