Got a call to go do an M4 for a client of mine's friend. Cars paint surface felt 'rough' even without having to baggie test, they assumed over spray. Upon arrival the car was too dirty for me to test the surface without washing the vehicle.


So first things first ( some of you may have seen this picture on social media before )

Wheels + wheel arches cleaned, multi-stage wash & dry done before pulling the car into the garage. The entire surface was indeed very contaminated, drying the car was a total B!@TCH


With the paint de-contaminated, it was time for a polish. We have decided to go for paint enhancement instead of a full on correction detail, for various reasons. I went for a PF2300 on orange medium cutting pads combo which turnt out great imo.

The entire front end had been covered with VPS, so I only took care of the doors, roof, rear quarter panels, boot and the rear bumper. After the polish the car had been treated with Colonite 915.

Audi and BMW, something about their styling I have always loved. Beautiful work and not a bad looking car either.

Thanx alot guys. Car is extremely low, had to call the gardener each time I wanted to enter or exit the garage. @briarpatch, I think in the states it'll be more commonly referred to as PPF. Paint Protection Film

Very nice - sounds like drying the car was an adventure unto itself.

I'm sure the car gets a few chin scrapes with front end lowered to that degree...I would be in a constant state of duress.
