    Re: Imola Red BMW 740i Paint Correction

    Very nice ride, great job!

    Question though- what product(s) did you use to dress the exterior window trim and b-pillars? Do you have success with them?

    I have an E39 and every product (Blackfire trim sealant, Duragloss 271, Meguiars Ultimate products, etc.) I have tried to dress the plastic exterior trim & b-pillars with comes out looking absolutely terrible (i.e. greasy, non-uniform coverage, streaky). Thinking of trying a paint sealant or wax next.

    I tried using Griot's Exterior trim restorer but had the same issues you are having... I'm going to coat them with a real trim coating to bring them back to new again.

    Edit: Unless you are talking about the black rub strips on the doors and bumpers?? We had those sanded, primed, painted, and cleared in gloss black. No more worries about diminishing color.

    Stunning! I loves me an Imola Red BMW. Not sure which red is my favorite...Porsche Guards Red or BMW's Imola. Right now I'm going Imola!

    Great "after" video too but it looks like you forgot to dry it!
