Wow did that car age well, and geeze... are you sure you were not taking a picture of yourself in a mirror in a couple of those shots??

Great job!

Damn that car was hacked from the first picture, especially for a car with 3k miles on it! Such a great job turning this car around. The inside of that car is sick looking.

Cosmin, what tools/polishes did you use to polish the wood trim on the interior?

Great job!

Just like a black BMW should look like. The previous owner really neglected it.

To bad the chrome wheels ruin the look for the car.

^^ smack its funny you brought that up. Generally chrome wheels make me want to regurgitate whatever I last ate, however I did not even notice them on the car until you pointed them out. I think the OP and just the beautiful lines of that car actually understated the wheels when I was looking at the pictures. I totally agree with you though, polished would look so much nicer!

Chrome is best used as winter wheels.

BBS LM's would look killer!!

the whole trims was black painted and clear coated.
i use the oval yellow hand cutting pad with 105 , g110 da with polish pad and 205 , 3in griots da and polish pad with 205.
where the hand brake is some deep scratches was left, too deep and is all like a bowl , i couldn`t correct that , but the back of the seats , dash and doors where finish nicely.
