Thank you! The compounding stage was easy, it was the polishing stage that was tough.

Me too. I have a '16 BMW 340i in the same color. This paint gets swirl marks if you just sneeze near it. It's tough to work with.

Fantastic work! That is my color as well. Last year I purchased a '13 650iX GC in BSM and that is how I ended up on Autogeek. I had never done any detailing before, so I learned a lot from people like the OP on what works. I am not a professional, but I am fairly satisfied with the results and have used the Menz 400-3500 combo on it.

At least I used to be satisfied until I got one of those damn swirl finder lights...
