This is a detail of a 2005 BMW X3 that I did today. I apologize in advance for the crappy pictures but the detail took me almost 8 hours and by the time I was done it was getting dark. Daylight savings time sucks. This thing was totally trashed paint wise and it really made me wonder how folks do details like this without a rotary. I did get the chance to try out some of the Menzerna polishes and I love them.

The paint looked 100x's better and I wish the pictures came out better. I was able to remove about 90 % of the defects. I could have easily spent another 3 hours on the car.
The owner is taking delivery of a 2007 Audi R8 in January and has instructed the dealer not to touch it. Its a nice blue. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
