Noslef - My First Paint Correction - BMW 335i

[noslef]

This was my first paid paint correction. I did it about three years ago, took me a while and I did not take a lot of pictures. Megs gold class shampoo and Megs clay. I used LC pads and XMT polishes. Protection was Autoglym HD. I wish I had pictures of the wheels since this was the first time I detailed a BMW and could not believe how much brake dust it had. Took multiple hits of Iron-x to get them looking decent.

nice work!

Looks excellent! Odd question when you were detailing this did you notice some odd spots in the hood? Like a suction cup was attached to it at some point? I have done 2 or 3 lately with weird markings... Also very fun car to drive!!!

Good job bud. Bmws and Benzs have probably one of the worse brake dust problems that I know of. To top it off, the wheels if not properly washed and maintained wont last long at all and it will rust. Thee new ones for both Manafactures are much better but still dusts like crazy.

I don't recall seeing any weird marks...this was a few years ago so it's not so fresh in my memory.

Yes, I did a few maintenance washes for the owner after the correction and it wheels were always horrible; they started to get pitted and stained.
