....I tried my hand at white.

The subject is a white '98 750iL with a little less than 90k on the odometer.

These are my favorite Bimmers of all and I just couldn't wait to clean up the M-PARS but found these instead!

I had to use my spoke brush and Amazing Roll Off to get those clean. Good thing for me they weren't that dirty to begin with.

Please note that *all* of these pictures are after. There simply wasn't much to show you in the before shots. Some dirty paint and a slightly dirty drivers area but pointless nonetheless. The car is well kept by the owner. There aren't any kids and the dog isn't allowed.

Leather was cleaned with Ultima Interior Shampoo and dressed with IGP. The carpet was cleaned with Folex and the scuffs were removed with Folex and Mr Clean Magic Eraser.

The exterior was ONR'd, elastrofoam clay, ZPC/UDM/orange LP LC pad, PGP.
Exterior trim was cleaned and sealed with TTGP. Tires got HD 2.5:1.

The wetness of the final product was surprising for white paint.

Really looks great. Love those older 7series, much nicer then the new ones.
 
Thanks for the compliments!

The interior in the current generation 7 Series is a cheap joke in comparison to these. There is leather everywhere in this car. Door pockets, door pulls, dash etc. Just exudes quality on both the inside and outside.
 
Super nice job! A saying around the BMW dealer here is that a properly done White Bimmer looks like "spilled milk"....you're in that league!

Wow - looks great. I can only hope my cars look that good after 90K miles!
