This car was in wayyyy better condition than I ever imagined possible. Pictures will show later. Car belongs to Andy@LTBMW Paint correction was pretty fun with this car excluding the backbreaking labor part. There were hardly any swirls at all. Most of it went away with Meguiar's M205 and DD uber green pad. Some required PO203S and green pad. Some random RDS were around too. After 2 passes of DD uber yellow and M105, I stopped chasing some of those. Since it was sunny out, I burned my eyeballs trying to look for swirls on a SILVER car. I thought it'd be worse, but this is almost perfect as it is. Man, that previous detailer really did a good job! First time doing an entire car with the Gloss-it backing plate too. I'd say this performs just as well as the 3M one. The 3" one really wasn't necessary in my opinion, but it was really nice to have. Wash&Dry CG CWG Failed foam cannon - it needed cleaning apparently.

PICTORS Wheel gel workin it Worked! I don't know what I'd do without super green stuff. I don't think these have ever been cleaned until now. Clay bar used on a few panels vs new clay. The mighty CLAY DESTROYER Destroyed Now let's go swirl hunting. Do your eyeballs hurt as much as mine do? :thud: Polish - 4 Car - 0 Eyeballs - -1 This was the only real thing wrong with the car. FIXED Pre LSP champ pics Now how about that Gloss it tire dressing? Before DONE! Sun pictures later. I think I like it better than Pneu! Exhaust tips being awesomeized AWESOME I think this bad boy is ready to go outside now. Door shuts outside. Pneu moonlighting as trim dressing. Even the wipers got some Pneu. Pneu in the engine bay too?! That Pneu is a slut! Gotta rep his pimp in the engine bay. Zymol vintage ON Gloss-it tire shine outside It's a tad glossier than Pneu which is what I really like about it. Now how about some of these wheels? FULL BODY SHOTS! YEAH M3 Mirrors P21S polishing soap working magic. And finally, some Vintage beading shots. Enjoy! c&c always welcome
Awesome wrok, SpecC! This car looks gordeous! Hey, did you get any sweating issues from using Vintage???
No issues whatsoever. I applied it as thinly as I could and removed it before it got incredibly hard. Worked out great for me!
