    2010 BMW 335i - Waterspot Nightmare - Paint Correction by Mr. Sparkle Detailing - Long Island, NY

    Recently was contacted about a BMW 335i that needed some help. The owner had been studying abroad, while his mother left the car parked outside. Just so happened to be where the sprinklers could saturate the car EVERYDAY. What was left was a complete mess.

    When it arrived, it was a hazy mess of what appeared to be layers upon layers of hard water spots. It was also covered in some tree sap, and I know there were swirls beneath it all, but the water spots and lack of clarity were my biggest concerns.

    Found this paint to be on the hard side. Had to go at it with

    Flex PE + LC PFW + Megs M100
    Flex 3401 / Griots + Megs MF pads + D300
    Flex 3401 / Griots + LC Black + M205


    Not 100% correction but pretty close I'd say

    Start off with a few of the hood as that seemed to be the worst of it all

    Topped it off with Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant and took some glory shots inside and out
