White BMW 120i Sport

[Wayno]

I completed this detail on a 07 BMW 120i Sport on Monday!! It was a difficult detail as the cars paintwork was in really bad shape!!! Plenty of contamination and scratches all over the car!!! It took a long time to repair but i think the owner was pretty happy with the outcome at the end of it!!!

Recieved the car in the rain on Mon morns so before pics arent great!!!















As normal i started off with the wheels and arches!!! Sonax applied!!



Because the contamination on the paintwork was so bad i soaked the car in a stronf solution of APC!!



This is the kind of contamination i am talking about!!!





While the paintwork was soaking i cleaned in between the badges and panal gaps!!





Contamination FTL......



I then moved the car under the carport and clayed it, this took ages, close to 4 hours on a small 3 door!!! :smtp23 Once that was done i put the lights on to inspect the damage!!! There was plenty of issues, lots of swirls and RIDs, some of them very deep!!!













Correction completed using a combination of pads with CG No.3 on this tough paintwork. Once that was done i applied a layer on AG SRP using a White polishing pad and buffed it off using a black finishing pad!!! This was a really difficult step and i struggled to fully remove all the scrathes with my little DA.... Decent results though???

















I then moved it out and gave it a final wash and dry!!!







I then moved it back undercover and applied a layer on Sonax Paste Wax as well as a layer of Megs Cleaner Wax to the wheels. While that was drying i cleaned up the exhaust and sorted the trimmings!!! Sonax was then buffed off by hand!!!

Finally some pics once all of it was done!!!















Thanks for having a look guys!!! :smtp25 :smtp25 Some post detail pics at a decent location to follow shortly!!!
