Incredible........what did the previous owner clean the car with???? Even my 92 t-bird's paint does not look like that.

No telling what he/she used. I suspect the "Leasor" (after all, it is a return from BMW Leasing) was a male...it has a 6 speed manual trans. Most cars we get from lease returns are in pretty good shape appearance as well as maintenance goes. But, sometimes you get Car from Hades.

Updated Pics...nxt + Souveran
I put a coat of NXT on the Bimmer last night with the orbital and a finish pad. Worked that product over the car to make sure there was zero swirls left over from compounding and glazing.
Then, today, I gave it a coat of Souveran to add depth to the car.... it's got depth now! Finish up interior detail tomorrow. The shop owner/dealer is even impressed!
Overhead shot shows the depth of Black
No tripod...no flash...I gotta get a tripod but this is a good example of reflection.
I'm pleased with the outcome...I hope the new owner is too!

Toto you are the man. That is just an amazing job on that car. I hope your appreciated. It looks like that Weber grill in that one shot could use a good detail although it looks better then this bimmer before you worked your magic on it.

Surfer said:Crazy turnaround, car looked like it was originally washed with steel wool lol:righton:
Is that a grill in there, you guys grill while detailing
Thanks Surfer: Yes, that's a grill....we "grill" all potential customers for proper car care LOL.
Actually, the dealer grills hamburgers, steaks, etc on Saturdays (weather permitting) for customers and people who stop by. He's the most "non-dealer" dealer I've met.
Toto
He needs to spread his "operation" to other dealers lol. Only our Lincoln, Caddy and Lexus dealers down here have sick service (the Lex dealership is just sick itself, like 5 star hotel lol). I remember back when the Bullet edition Stang came out, stopped by the Ford dealer and they wouldn't even let me sit in the car and for a test drive wanted a 10K deposit...wtf lol. Told them to shove it.Totoland Mach said:

The wall has flourescent lighting. The halogens are on the stands. You really need both for indoor detailing. I constantly move the halogens around as I work. In fact, we're trying to figure out a caster system for the Halogens so they will roll as I work.
Plus, flourescents on certain interiors are bad...this black BMW has black leather and black carpeting...the flourescents "disappear" for lighting!
