That's an absolutely stunning color and car, and your work REALLY paid off big time!

Any chance you can shed some more detailed info on your method/products for paint prep before LSP?
ie How many passes on average with the SIP/OJ pad and how many passes with the 106ff+ white pad?

Total time spent on the detail?

I was also curious about your lighting setup...any info on that?

Thanks! Two big thumbs up

Thank you! Just wash with a citrus wash, then a simply clay bar throughout the car and mask up the trim.

BMW clear coats are a nightmare with a DA so it was an average of 2 passes. The driver and passenger side doors took the longest with 3 passes. 106ff just one pass.

I arrived at 8am and started polishing around 10:30am and finished at 8pm and left for the night at 11pm.

I use a standard 500w dual lighting and also a CM5300 light.

WOW!! What a beautiful car! Great job!
