    Good friend of mine recently bought a 2008 BMW 335i (convertible twin turbo). He mentioned it had some swirls and need some attention. The interior needed a light cleanup as well. Only problem was, didn't have time for a full correction. Had about 8 hours total with the car.
    Did the interior and wash / decon on the exterior. Put on the LED lights and it was a rotary buffer trail nightmare! Looked light somebodys first day polishing. Or I hope it was. Can't get much worse I don't think.

    Definitely did not have time for a 2 step correction. Had to give it all I could with 1. Found this paint a bit on the hard side while doing test spots and settled on:

    Flex3401 + LC Tangerine + Menz SIP

    The test spot in question. Buffer trails stopped in their tracks

    Thanks!

    the car changed hands along the way at a pennsylvania car auction. So I imagine that is where it got the shine & swirl treatment
