BMW 330IX paint restoration.

djjsarai · 05-17-2016, 03:55 AM

Hey guys, wanted to share the restoration I did on my sisters BMW. The car is a 2006 and the paint was never properly washed or taken care of by the previous owner nor my sister after she bought the car. Went through each panel and found many scratches, swirls, marring and hard water spots. Luckily, I use to detail vehicles and took this challenge without hesitation. I hope you like the results!

The headlights were the last bits I was doing and I needed to take the car for an alignment as well. So quickly finished.

I would hope so, plus when I pulled it out into the sun, the deep Monaco Blue metallic came out so good. I will get some sunlight shots soon. It was worth the time and pain.
