This car is what luxury is in the BMW line. Over 130/k new! The car has 30,000 miles and is off-lease so the dealer snapped it up.
The car had the usual light scratches and swirls EXCEPT the previous owner thought to clear bra the entire front end when it was new...WHAT A JOY! We removed it because it was showing some age (yellowing and heavy swirls) and the front end was virgin! No headlights to sand, bumpers to do... great car to detail.
So, SYSTEM ONE POLISH was used throughout the process until the very end. Compounded with X3 and a 3M compound wool pad...great combo. Polished with X3 and a 3M glaze pad. The dealer requested a 3M Dark Glaze afterwards followed by 3M Ultrafina and a final wash before wax. I'll probably grace this luxury car with a coat of Pinnacle Souveran.
The Black Metallic doesn't even show in the shop!
Here's some pics:

Hood shot before glazing (pardon the few specks of X3 still there...they were removed by the glazing process)
