    I received a voice mail from this client regarding how disappointed he was with how his car looked in any kind of light conditions. After speaking with him for almost twenty minutes it was evident that we had to do a full paint correction. He had told me there were hard water spots all through his car and he took it to the dealership to try and have them take it out :confused:. When the car arrived it was around 7am so we couldn't really make out the serious damage just yet after stripping the car from the prior LSP and a full clay bar treatment we pulled it in the shop to get a good look at what we were up against. I can honestly say we were all blown away at what we were looking at, the car had hard water spots everywhere and some nasty buffer trails from the awesome detailers at the dealerships :D. Jc, Tim, and I started on the paint correction while JP took care of the rims and plastics. After 12 hours with 4 people on the car we knocked out a 100% correction, when the client picked up the car he couldn't believe the outcome as the dealership told him the buffer trails and hard water spots would never come out because it was a black car. Wow. Enjoy the photos and keep in mind the car was barely 3 months old.

    Jimmy and Team --

    Absolutely beautiful, perfect, work !!! That Jet Black looks like it was just sprayed and is still wet !
    48 hours of work - that sounds about right for that kind of Concours Level correction.

    What were your products and final LSP ?

    I get these Bimmers all the time - especially black. They are all challenging but they do correct down beautifully if the paint isn't scratched beyond correction.

    Proud of you guys !! That X6 could enter a car show and WIN !!! Thanks to you !!!!

    Foamed it with Dawn Soap let it sit for about 5 mins as it was really early in the morning when we started, sprayed it off then foamed it once more with dawn soap and gave it a hand wash.

    Thank you very much for your kind comments! Normally I would use Swissvax for the LSP but I was on a time constraint being booked out for a couple of months I had to finish the car that day I decided to do 2 coats of Menz Powerlock.

    Thanks, and I don't mind at all... The dilution varies on every car but I normally put a half inch to an inch in the foamer if that helps you any I can take a pic on my next correction to show you...
