    Both cars where exteriors only.

    Called Bret to give me a hand on this one as both had to be done in a day.

    2000 Carbon Black BMW M5 w/ 123k miles.

    Client had just washed it the other day. So we cleaned it up with some ONR and clayed it.

    I did say 123k miles:

    The entire car was like this.

    After M105/yellow edge wool/1700 x4
    Ultrafina/blue CCS/1700

    Bret cleaned the wheels with ONR and a MF, after drying the wheels he gave them an application of ZAIO.

    I think the trunk was worse even though the pics do not show it:

    I did the M105 work and Bret followed with the Ultrafina. Bret also did some of the tighter areas with some 4" pads.

    After we finished with the polishing we gave the car a Z7 wash using the 2BM with a sheepskin mitt. The car was dried with pakshak WW drying towels.

    Tires got Z-16.

    3x of ZFX'd Z5pro was applied to the paint and followed with Z8:

    The 95 993 Porsche is the client track toy. He still drives it on the street every week or so.

    The paint had some staining from some of the chemicals used to remove the rubber marks on the paint from the roadcourse. So the cleint wanted the paint cleaned of the staining and to restore the gloss. Sorry no before shots.

    Did a Z7 wash and clayed the paint.

    Bret and I broke out the PCs, I used a white CCS pad and Bret used a Megs yellow foam pad. We both used ZPC as a polish. A few areas with more severe swirling where polished with a LC VC yellow pad and ZPC first, then followed with one of the polishing pads.

    After a Z6 wipedown 2x of ZFX'd Z2pro was applied to the paint followed by Z8.
