Re: 2014 BMW 535i - Removing Dealership Holograms, Swirls and Scratches
Next up...
Next we taped off all the rubber, plastic and vinyl trim on the car including all the trim around the windows and the sunroof.
The sunroof on this BMW is a HORRIBLE material. It's a hard, textured material, probably some type of vinyl?
We used 3M Blue Vinyl Tape to tape-off and cover this trim because if we didn't, and then were to get any compound or polish reside on it the trim would be stained forever.
So here's a warning to anyone working on a new BMW with a sunroof,
Tape off the gasket trim before buffing out the roof.
And to the good folks at BMW?
Please start using a more detail friendly material on your cars.
If you have never used or seen the 3M Blue Vinyl Tape, it's a must-have in your collection of detailing tools. Here's what it looks like and a link to get some.
3M Vinyl Tape 1/4 Inch - 06405

Compounding Pictures?
Sorry to say there are no pictures of any of us doing the compounding step because we were all compounding the paint.
This step, the Major Correction Step takes the longest.
It must be done correctly, that is the defects must be removed at this step or they will be there after you wipe off the wax or they'll still be there, they'll just be shiny defects.
So sorry, no pictures of us machine compounding this BMW.
