This BMW belongs to the daughter of one of my good clients. I did his 1966 Shelby GT350 Hertz and his 1957 Chevy Bel Air droptop last year. After seeing the work, his daughter wanted her X5 and M3 both corrected. BMW paint can be finicky, but after a few different combinations I settled on Menzerna SIP on a Lake Country green pad on the PCXP for correction of the paint. The B-pillars got D300 on a 4" Lake Country orange pad. Leather was cleaned and conditioned with Zaino Z9 and Z10. The exterior plastic was pretty sun damaged and got several treatments of Zaino Z16 as did the tires. LSP choice was Zaino Z2pro.

Thanks for looking
 
This BMW looks better now than when it was on the showroom floor.
 
That was one dirty BMW......WOW

The finished photos are no doubt better than when it left the showroom floor...simply gorgeous!! :props:
 
Incredible gloss. The pillars were trashed.

Nice sharp reflections in the after pictures. Nice work as always.
 
Great job on the X5!! Being an X5 owner myself I know how much time they take and how big of a pain they can be!!
 
Very nice. I'm assuming these b pillars are painted and not black plastic trim?
 
Good job. It never ceases to amaze me how much plastic can be on a SUV that costs that much. Good work on the pillars too, they were trashed!
 
You do some pretty great work, between you and BobbyG I can't decide who I want to be like more with your guys skills, amazing!
