Before: this car was in pretty bad condition... but i had no clue what i was in store for until after the wash........... scrubbing ARO on the top after washing and clay so at this point, i am in complete astonishment of how bad of a paint job this car had!!! it looke like it barely got wetsanded and buffed after leaving the body shop!!! and i had yet to even put the light to it! honestly i was afraid of what i would see! so i took a break and did the interior... my camera died after this pic... so i charged it while i did the rest, but forgot to take pictures after... now... onto the halogens..... before/ after of the trunklid. after 1 pass with menzerna Power Gloss. look at the difference in the reflection! like the title says!!! trunklid after 2 passes of PG now for a 50/50 of the hood. after 1 pass 2 passes reflection before/after of the hood front fender driver's door not even sanded!!!!!!!!!!! trunk lid Finished! i finished that day at 1:15AM i went back the next day to finish up the interior, do a FK# 425 wipe and black WOW. but i forgot my camera. i hope you guys enjoyed seeing what a little elbow grease and some polish can do when it comes to restoring REFLECTIONS
What a transformation:worship2: The paint was super dull and you brought it back to life! It looks like there was some acid rain spots baked into the finish as well, those are always fun to polish out:doh: And I know what a pain those 645i wheels are to clean. Again awesome job, now get some sleep:thumb:
Wow that vehicle was in extremely rough shape :nod: I've seen some really bad shape vehicles but this one tops all I've seen so far, I mean just look at this pictures: Wow, the state of that vehicle is shocking. You sir, did a great job turning that vehicle around :applause: well done :worship2: I agree, incredible return :applause2: :applause2:
I'm just amazed who well you were able to yurn this around. I just wish I could see it in person. Great job.
That's a great turn-around :thumb: I could tell after the wash that the paint had that "fuzzy" kind of reflection. That drives me nuts. What did the owner say after the work was done?
I have never seen anything like that! I am surprised that the customer did not see this himself when he purchased the car??? Unless he picked it up when it was dark, raining and he was wearing sunglasses. That is some amazing work on turning it around though. Such nice work, I bet the owner was thrilled!
Who the hell would treat a bimmer like that, the previous owner had to be nuts. Great turnaround there bro i know the new owner was thankful.
That is one heck of a job. That was probably the worst I have seen way to turn it around. Question, you listed FK 425 for interior? What do you use the 425 on?
What the hell happened to that car? The owner should have tossed you the keys for the weekend for that. One of the best saves I've ever seen. Congrats!
