BMW 8 Series V12 Paint Correction and Opti Coat

[David@DCSPrecision]

This car had been "detailed" previously, but the owner brought it to me because he wasn't happy with the condition.

Liquid wax everywhere.

Started the wash off with the wheels.

Strip wash.

Clay was picking up some contaminants.

Condition of the paint.

On to the polishing.

Same spot, just with different lighting. You can see a good amount of color change.

50/50 shot of the hood, but I ended up going back and compounding and repolishing the hood, roof, and trunk lid to remove the deep water etching that is giving the paint that rough look.

Driver's door before.

During.

After.

Rear bumper 50/50.

Tail lights 50/50.

All the carpets were pretreated, agitated, and extracted.

Just to show you how much dirt was removed from the interior.

After applying Opti Coat and curing overnight.

Thanks for checking it out.

Looks great. What did you use on the tail lights? What soap in the foam cannon did you use?

Lots of people from VA on here...cool! Great job w/ the detail!!!

I have a serious soft spot for BMW 8 series (more so a V12).

Excellent work on it

Looks great, awesome car!

The brush you used on the rugs is awesome, i use it often for upholstery as it is gentle when brushing along with the bends of the boars hair.

Good job...what did you use? Have to get me one of those v12

That car was 'tha bomb' back in the day. You did a great job bringing that PIMP MOBILE back to life!



I never cared for the monster tailites on that model FWIW

Nice job! Never would've guessed there was a V12 laying in there from the pics. Keep up the good work.

Nice job restoring it, and thanks for taking the time to photo-document your work. That's a sharp looking car, and I don't think I've ever seen one of those before. Did you happen to take any interior pics?

Thanks for all the comments!

I really like this brush because I don't feel comfortable using something more aggressive when working on carpets that I can't afford to replace if they are damaged. I have two of them, one for leather and one for carpets.

For some reason I didn't take any before and after interior pictures, but the carpets were the only place you could see a dramatic improvement.
