    2000 BMW 740iL Green w/Souveran

    This is a referral from the bmw shop I deal with.
    The paint has been neglected as you can see the befores. There was some light oxidation on the drivers side. And major spiderwebbing all over.

    The Wash
     Out came the foam gun with a mix of Optimum car wash and a little dawn. I didn't clay, and you will see why in the gamepaln.

    Tires/wells
    Same soap mix and a wheel brush and the 16" Deep Reach Wheel Brush.
    Then received Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel

    The Gameplan
    Out came the rotary and a org wg pad with optimum polish. I had an idea, and became the mad sciencetist. I mixed PB PwS and the 106FF, to see what would happen.It did the job,though still dusted some, and the paint looked good. I then put Pinnacle Liq. Souveran on last.

    Interior
    Carpets were a dark green and had no wear or dirt/stain marks. The floor mats just needed to be vacuumed. All the panels received DP Interior Surface Protectant. And since it is safe for leather, it received it too.
