Had this customer come in for a full correction on their BMW. I apologize for not having before pictures. But I didn't really think to take pictures till I was done, and saw how good it came out. The paint was in SAD shape. It was so scratched and scuffed that it looked more like a dark gray than black!

Wasn't a sunny day at all, so unfortunately no sun shots. I can't buy a sunny day lately! But regardless, here's some shots I took just before the customer picked it up. Figured I'd share them!

I actually decided to use the PC with Megs 105 on an orange pad to start on this one. I did a few test spots with both the rotary, and the PC. I couldn't get the results I wanted with the rotary. I was having a hard time with the marring from the compound with the wool pad and rotary. I'm definitely becoming a fan of the PC for correction of particular vehicles.

- PC with 105 on an LC orange pad (followed by a re-wash)
- 205 with LC white pad
- Alcohol wipe down
- Sealed with WGDGPS
- UTTG for trim

Sorry, my camera stinks...and I'm not the best photographer. I wanted WAY more pics of this job. But, like I do a lot...I got lost in the work and forgot to snap photos. But I at least got these quick ones taken before she showed up. Thanks for looking! :dblthumb2:
 
Very nice, I bet she was amazed! If she wasn't a repeat customer, I am sure she is now!

Do you have any after pics? Kidding!! Looks fantastic Kris, nice turnaround.
 
Thanks guys! I was real happy with the outcome of that car. On to the next one! I got a good one coming in tomorrow. A red Mazda RX-7 with some badly oxidized paint. This time, I'll take some before shots, ha.
