THis one belongs to the same customer with the XLR-V and ZO6 i posted before.
I normally visit them eveyr 2 months but this time because of scheduling conflicts, alot of time passed by.
To make matters worse they own Arabian horses up in Ocala so they take frequent trips up there. The Bimmer had just come back from one of those trips.
I was there for the regular wash and wax i usually do but after seeing the car i decided to clean up the paint a little better.
Luckily with most of my customers i can do what i think needs to be done without explaining or asking for the o.k.
I looked in my van trying to decide what to use and saw my bottles of XMT and thought i'd give them a shot, it has been awhile since i've used them for anything.
I have so much crap in my van i don't even know what's in there sometimes.
I started with XMT 3 on an orange pad at speed 5, followed by #2 with a blue pad topped with 845.
Oh and this was NOT a paint correction, just a bit more than just a wax job to at least make it look decent. Afterall the car is on the road all the time, a fullblown job would be senseless in my opinion.
