BMW Series Coupe paint correction + clean up!
Booked for a 2 day detail with light paint correction. Car belongs to the owner of this Audi S5 I detailed a few months prior.

The BMW is a daily driven car with over 160k miles on it, mild paint correction to clean up the paint was carried out along with layering it with protection.
Wheels before
Sonax sitting
After cleaning
Car foamed and washed with CG citrus followed by claying. Heavy contaminants on the finish
Onto correction work, again this was a mild paint correction, by no means was perfection the goal. Menzerna SIP and 106FA used on the Metabo
50/50 on passenger door
Close up using Fenix TK40 LED + Camera Flash
Before (Hood)
After Correction (Hood)
Mirror trim was faded and 100% gray. First cleaned using IPA, than dressed using a foam painters stick.
Before
1st of 3 applications...
Heated up again with a heat gun and than buffed off to check for smearing before moving onto the next 2 applications
Finished product
More correction work on rear bumper which was lightly oxidized
Before
After
50/50
One last IPA done on the entire car before applying LSP. In this case I layed down a quick coat of Werkstat Acrylic Prime using the DA on speed 4 followed by 3 coats of Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger spread out over 2 days
Finished
Thanks for looking

I'm really amazed at how well the mirror trim worked out. Fantastic. I hope to learn this one day as wel.
Beautiful job for a 'mild' paint correction.
