Did the owner go off-roading through a briar patch with this BMW?!?!

Basically an inverse zenith method to go least aggressive
- Washed with a MPC available locally
- clayed with Uber clay
- Wetsand 1500 grit mirka sandpaper with megs sanding block
- Got down to 800, then 600 (still little done in terms of correction)
- Coarser grit 400 then 320 grit mirka sandpaper
- moving up to 600, 800
- Still higher 1500 grit (Mike Philips' at this point i made sure i removed the 800 grit marks- didn't have the 1200 grit paper)
- Refined with 2000 grit and finally with 2500
- Compounded with Menz PG S34A on 4" LC orange pad via Makita rotary
- Polished with Menz 203s on 4" LC wool via the rotary (to get the best of both the cutting power of the wool pad and the smoothness of 203s)
- Finished with PO85rd on 4" LC white via the makita
- sealed with Menz PowerLock
hope it helps

sure it does bro, but sometimes it takes time
i've read it somewhere that when we face difficulties and think it's over, God Above says it's not the end, it's only a bend
