cleaned up a BMW - bodyshop save
this car hasnt seen a detail in over 3 years. It took a total of 3 washes at various stages, LOTS of claying one compound round, two polish rounds, and one sealant layer. The interior was a quick 1 hour or so. Wheels needed to be taken off and hit with megs wheel brightener, but that was not done, so CG diablo was called for the outers twice, and...well, this is why you dont neglect your car!
Befores:







OH the bodyshop horror!!!







Some heavy waterspotting

This is from a 1x1 section

Some more damage to the paint that was removed


Supposedly this etching "was not going to come out without a repaint" said the previous detailer...


Before and afters of the rear quarter panel

And the afters without any protection on it! This is after meguiars105 and menzerna 203 and a CGWG wash to remove any polishing oils. Still had FPII and a sealant to go!







And some shots taken in the garage at 730pm (10 hour detail)
