Recently I did a 2 step paint correction on this 2010 BMW X5. This was the first black car that I ever did. This was a fellow Autogeek member that found me on the forum. I quoted him on the phone, not knowing what kind of shape the car was in. There was white paint on the bottom of the car behind all 4 tires. The drivers side was not as bad as the passengers.
The products I used:
iron-x
Nanoskin mitt
m105 and M205
Orange hybird pad and White hybird pad
Restored the headlights with 1000, 1500, and 3000 grit. topped with Opti-lens
Dressed the trim with Wolfgang Exterior trim sealant
Topped all of this off with Cquartz
Here are some before and after photos
