This is a detail of a 2006 Black Saphire Pearl BMW M6 that I did approximately 1 month ago. Unfortunately when I finished the detail and tried to pull it out of the garage to take some pics it started pouring. Fast forward to today. I get a call from the client asking if I could come over and clean it up. I was looking forward to finally getting some outside shots. Needless to say when I started the sun was shining and when I finished it had just started sleeting....:bawling:

The car is stunning. Carbon fiber roof with all the bells. I was rushing to get a few quick pics. Please excuse the quality. I tried to some decent shots. The interior were shot in the garage. I was fighting very pour light.

Nice work. But why did you have to do all that work on a car that had been detailed a month ago?

I believe that the process listed is what he did a month ago. I think that today he just went over and washed it and was finally able to get outside pictures of it. (Correct me if I am wrong Pat)

Stunning car and detail! I really like those M6's, they are a blast to drive! Did you find the clear to be on the hard or soft side. I have a Jet Black BMW and find the clear to be really, really soft but didn't know if this would be different since it's a metallic.

Steven...yes this was just my chance to get some outside shots after the detail I had done. Today was just cleanup and I couldn't seem to win with the weather and picture taking. The BMW cleaner was ok. The SIP/106FF combo took care of the swirls.

The car does compliment the house nicely.

Wenol is a great polish. I was using the blue. I heard the red is more aggressive.
