Hey all,

Just cataloging some work on a local 1988 e28 m5. Its been fully resprayed with 2 stage jet black several years ago. Interior is not in the best of shape and the owner plans on having the front seats redone.



Full 3 stage polish with Opticoat will be done here.



Spent a full 7 hours on the first stage.



1st degreased and cleaned the engine bay

all taped up

2 passes got me this, 2 more stages and it should end up a mirror.

Saw this car over there on weds. I cant comprehend the amount of work it takes to do what sniz did to that thing. The paint really shows it though! Nice job!

thanks man, check this out, done polishing tonight, around 13 hours on the buffer on this car. Its 95% perfect. would take another 5-8 hours to get 99% perfect.

there is no LSP (wax/sealent/etc) on the paint, this is just pure paint shining.

polishing done......teaser vid as photobucket seems to be down.

The car is almost as shiny as the ring. Congrats on both the restoration and the proposal

I hate seeing a 25 year old car with paint in better condition than my 3 year old car.
