Presidential Detailed: 2007 BMW 328i

[Presidential_Detail]

This car is owner by a friend of mines mother. It is garage kept and kept up relatively well. There was very minimal swirling in the paint even over the year or so she has owned it, I think Ill give the credit to BMW's awesome clearcoat! I only had a day and a morning to work on this one, I spent most of the day just claying the car. In my experience with white cars, the most notable difference is before and after claybarring the vehicle. This car happened to have A LOT of fall out and exhaust soot embedded into the paint. Anyways on to the pics!

Man that looks GREAT!!! Awesome job!

[killrflake]

Always enjoy seeing a white car get the royal treatment. Very nice work.

[Presidential_Detail]

Yeah, whenever I see a white one..I know its gonna be alot of work. I think it takes more time to get a white car looking right than a black one sometimes! Most of the time is spent clay barring every inch of it, so you dont have little specs everywhere!

[xiongxtreme2382]

yeah, great work man. i always liked the way how you detail cars.

[Presidential_Detail]

Thanks!

[Emile]

Very nice work. Great reflections from the white paint.

[Presidential_Detail]

My white cars usually seem to come out very nice with Lusso Oro..Im almost afraid to buy a more expensive wax because Lusso has done me so well! However in the FL sun, it doesnt tend to last very long...

Love that beading shot!!!
