2011 BMW X5 - paint correction

[Audios S6]

This is the same owner as the 335. I'm not sure who is more picky, him or his wife. This one belong to the wife, pretty sure it stayed in the garage this morning to avoid the rain and he had to drive her to work in the 335.

Kept things going with this one and pretty much lost everything except some finished shot, at least I got one sun shot on the rear hatch.

Process
wheels with meguiars DUB
Prefoamed with CG CW+G and Ultimate snowfoam
2BM with CG Citrus wash clear
clayed with nanoskin autoscrub on the GG6 and the speed prep towel
paint correction with the rupes 21, UHS pads and D300, this got about 80% correction but anything more would have required 2 steps and that wasn't in the budget
exhaust with the new pinnacle exhaust cleaner and brightener
tires with BF AIO trim & tire protectant
LSP was BFWD
engine cleaned with zep citrus via tornador then 303AP

exhaust before and after

One full sun shot, you can tell since the tail lights are still swirled here

Looks good man! Nice work. I'm digging the new Pinnacle Exhaust product...smells so good I wanna eat it! LOL

Looks very good! I like how picky the wife is. :)

Seems like the exhaust cleaner works very well.

Do you charge extra to polish tail lights?

The exhaust cleaner is great. I'm waiting for the release to say much more, but since the cat is out of the bag, I mentioned it.

I'll usually work the taillights into my pricing for paint corrections. They just weren't done in that particular photo. If it's just a wash and wax, then it is extra.

Great work, that baby's looking awesome.
