2000 BMW 740iL Green w/Souveran

[HighEndDetail]

This is a referral from the bmw shop I deal with.

The paint has been neglected as you can see the befores. There was some light oxidation on the drivers side. And major spiderwebbing all over.

The Wash
Out came the foam gun with a mix of Optimum car wash and a little dawn. I didn't clay, and you will see why in the gamepaln.

Tires/wells
Same soap mix and a wheel brush and the 16" Deep Reach Wheel Brush.
Then received Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel

The Gameplan
Out came the rotary and a org wg pad with optimum polish. I had an idea, and became the mad sciencetist. I mixed PB PwS and the 106FF, to see what would happen.It did the job,though still dusted some, and the paint looked good. I then put Pinnacle Liq. Souveran on last.

Interior
Carpets were a dark green and had no wear or dirt/stain marks.:awesome: The floor mats just needed to be vacuumed. All the panels received DP Interior Surface Protectant. And since it is safe for leather, it received it too.

Nice job, take it the hands are better!!

Almost about 90 % all better. My left thumb and right index finger need a few more weeks.

 

[Jimmie]

Boy lots of swirls. You made it look great. Hard to beleive that car is 7+ years old.

I see Michelin Pilot Sport tires on that car. Love those tires. I have the same on my car. Bimmer looks great. Did you like PwS/PO106FF mix?

 

[AL417]

Looks great Ed. Happy to see that your hands are healing.

 

[sparkie]

Ed glad to hear your hand is getting better.
Man you really turned that paint around. The car looks great!

I did like the PwS/106FF mix. Now if I could only keep the 106 from dusting. That is why I don't use it that often.

Nice turnaround. I would love to get some "HIGHEND" cars, but my county just hasn't developed into this customer base just yet. Can't wait till next week.

I love the looks of the older BMW 7 series sedans. In my opinion they look so much nicer then those rather odd looking newer ones. Real nice detail job too.

PO106FF never dusted on me. Well, I only used it mixed with RMG (70%PO106FF&30% RMG). Gives me longer working time, and glazes on a finish.

With using the RMG, that is what helps it from dusting alot

how was the paint on that thing? Hard? Soft? Etc.? I have a newer model (2006 750i) that I'm going to be doing in a month or so.

 

[Nica]

Really nice turn around Ed, I like how you brought the paint back to life. I like the reflection that the vehicle has now...very nice.

Glad to hear your doing well, good to see you back in action.

Have you used PO85RD? I've used only a smal amount and I didn't get dusting but I didn't use enough to get the full feel for it...still using 106FF. I too got dusting from 106FF but I still like the product. I tried mixing 106FF and Optimum Polish and it works good to.

I would say a med. on the clear. What do you think you are going to use on it.

Well I'll obviously have my rotary by then, and I hope to be solely using a rotary when that car comes around. I'll at the very least have the Optimum line up.

I'm going to order some of the P106FF for emergencies and cerami-coats

The Optimum line will work great. I had to use the 106 since my order of Optimum compound/hyper compound wasn't in yet. I would have used the hyper compound on it, if I had it.
