This client of mine had me go out and give his wife’s car a make over with a solid two step process to get it looking good again after a year of neglect.  I saw this car in his driveway and kept glancing at it thinking “how can a body shop/detail shop return cars to their customers in that condition?”  Not only was the finish slightly dull and lacking luster, there were HORRIBLE holograms and buffer trails, marring, swirl marks all over the car – EVERY PANEL!

After I finished the wifes BMW past his expectations, I got the go-ahead to work some magic on the black 5series in question!  I knew this car was going to take a couple of days, so it was dropped off and I began working on it right away!  Once again, I had to find the correct combination of polish/pads/machine to give me the results I was looking for.  Two hours later I figured out a routine for the whole car.  FOUR steps were needed to return this car to a 95% state of perfection, where as a daily driven car, that is more than satisfactory!  The car looks like a completely different color without all the imperfections in the paint!

Total time invested in this car:  14 hours
