I was contacted by M3forum.net forum member migstwo (Harold) and he was wanting to get his M3 polished. He told me that she was in need of some love so we set up a date and today was the day. After I washed the car we looked over it in full sun and it was obvious that some inexperienced hack ran his rotary over it. We pulled it in the garage and after I clayed I began to try out different pads and products. After trying a few different combinations I was getting the best results from Menzerna IP and and Orange pad. I went over the whole car twice with Menzerna IP and orange pad and then finished her off with Menzerna 106FF and green pad. Although I did not get the cars paint 100% (it could take another 10 hours of polishing) I believe that I made great improvement and that it is 95% swirl free. I used Ultima PGP for the LSP. Unfortunately after I finished the sun was down behind the house so I could not capture the final look very good. I also want to say THANK YOU to Harold and his wife for great hospitality and letting me spend all day on there car! Enjoy the pics...
