I am going to start the full detail of my wife's 335i next weekend. There are a couple rock chips that had touch up paint put on them and they are raised. I know the BMW touch up paint is lacquer, so I'd assume it will be pretty hard. One spot is very noticeably raised and will take some...

Great work, and great idea on the cards...

Glad to hear you are getting the paint fixed, especially after your nightmare details early on. This thread has been very good info for many of us as well. I'll be going my wife's black 335i over Thanksgiving vacation, so I read all black car threads carefully. Luckily, I don't have any big...

Beautiful car!!! One of my favorites.

and that is why they call it detailing...great attention to detail in those hard to reach areas.

Great shine, that's a gorgeous Vette!!

Looks great, nice shine and wet look!!

I keep mine in a zip lock bag with spray detailer on it to keep it moist. I just replaced one after almost 2 years. I end up replacing them due to being dirty and not falling apart.

That is a cool car!!! I'm with the masses here, patina depends on the vehicle. I'd have to do some research on values to see if the unrestored value and fully restored value would justify a restoration. I've met a few people who have restored cars and ended up spending way more than the car...

That Fox is beautiful!!! I would love to have an LX 5.0 notchback sitting in the garage next to the Lightning. After we get a new roof on the house, it will happen. How many miles, or KM does she have?

I use those for my DA, and a quality foam pad for hand applications.

I'd highly recommend a DA polisher. They are very flexible, used both for polishing/compounding and waxing with the right pads. They also are very easy and safe to use.

Most definitely....I'm looking forward to this detail

After lots of research on here, I ended up going with the Pinnacle swirl removers, then some Wolfgang paint sealant 3.0, ending with Pinnacle Souveran liquid. That should give me good durability and the deep shine of carnuba.

The 8.5" are for the rotary and I was planning on 5.5 for the DA. I was just looking at the Blackfire Wet Diamond and I like the results that I've seen.

I'm looking for some guidance on the newer polishes. I used to detail cars in college (20 years ago), but the products and technology have changed A LOT!! I used the 3M line at the time. The cars are a 2011 BMW 335i coupe that's black and a 2003 Ford Lightning that is dark gray. I've been...
