something about that car makes me really want a black bmw! great job, how did you like the BF Wax? Ever tried souveran paste--if so, could you give me an opinion on the two and how they compare. Thank you in advanced

Thanks. I really like BF wax. In terms of application, it is very close to Souveran, but I feel Souveran has more oils and therefore it is easier to apply. But I still found BF to be very nice wax for black. And yes, I really like it. Is it worth a try - YES!

Nice work!

thanks.

2 stages with Flex, it took total 32 hours to complete (8 hours a day in a period of 4 days).

hey man,

Long time, hehe. Just wondering, was it so filthy that you had to wash it two times? Could you have gotten away with just a good coat of ONR.

I foamed it with a foam lance and pressure washer, then rinsed it off, and then washed it ONCE in a garage with ONR...

Awesome job. Looks great !!!!!

Ah I see, I am thinking about using ONR now to help save some time from dragging out the entire setup when doing mobile so was wondering how the ONR did.

I can see how you needed to spend so much time with the BMW. You really turned it into a gem and whatever you charged them, they got off cheap.
