Gee...my eyes finally get a decent break and I get a wonderful car to do. This belonged to the Pres. of the Milwaukee BMW club and he really kept the car in super condition. But, I just upped the appearance somewhat.

The car had some very light surface scratching here and there so I used my trusty sidekick: Meguiar's #83 and a 3M cutting pad. That combo is very nice for cars that don't need a bunch of correction. Following that, I used 3M Swirl Remover and a finish pad, then a power wash and Z5. I might put a coat of Souveran on it tomorrow for grins and additional depth.

Bumper work...the car has very few stone chips for a 2003.

And, as luck would have it, I have a 530i Silver Gray to start on tomorrow...not to worry...there's a black Bimmer or 2 in my future.

Looks sharp Toto :D Love the color, good with a break off from black? ;)
 
Never seen gray look that deep and wet. That's just beautiful Toto.
 
Awesome work Toto. I figured you would have a black Bimmer on the horizon :)
 
Wow! Love the color and the job you did to it!
 
What's with this gray colour? hahaha just teasing. Always enjoy your posts Master Toto and love the way the colour seems to give a nice wet look.

Thank you for sharing.
 
Beautiful. Your work is always so perfect in every way.
 
For a second I thought it's an M5 :). Beautiful one Toto! It just looks awesome and I love the hood reflection shot you got on there. It looks like I can jump in the hood!
 
Toto is our BMW man. He know how to make a beemer look good! Well done, Toto!
 
Another awesome finish by a detailing guru.
 
Richard my man, looks great! Good to see your doing a BMW that isnt black! Lol, nice work :)
 
Excellent paint correction as always Totoland. Grey paint / Souveran - unbeatable
 
That is silly Toto, just SILLY reflections of a car that's not even black! What are you doing with non-black vehicles? Don't you have a little helper for the easy work?

:)
