Learning oxidation removal on my black BMW

That is A LOT of bugs Aj! How long did that take you to clean up?
 
That is A LOT of bugs Aj! How long did that take you to clean up?

Wasn't really that bad, actually. Presoaked in Surf City's Road Trip Grime Destroyer (AG doesn't carry it anymore), agitated with pinnacle safe scrub bug sponge, pressure wash rinse, applied a mist of the RTGD on the remaining bugs to be taken care of from the normal 2 bucket wash and final rinse. BUG FREE! :props:
 
Not my best but a great comparison for the customer, right side is after a wash, heavy oxidation & barely any shine, literally felt like sandpaper. Left side is after one pass of Double Deox (down in Australia, doubt you would have heard of it) with orange cutting pad.

I was astounded at the difference after 1 pass, picture doesn't do it justice either.

Damn nice turn arounds. I never did any 50/50 shots until this last detail I am doing. Anyway, all I have are a couple interior ones right now.

Not as great as everyone's picture. Heres a shoddy camera phone shot.
Spoiler and trunk

Love showing my customers this image when they want a leather clean.

Rear seat, obviously the left side is not cleaned, no conditioner applied to the right, just cleaned. Owner didn't think it was that bad before.
