Poor-Boys detail R2D2's X3

[freerider]

We had a bit of a shuffle this weekend, and instead of doing a focus today, we detailed a BMW X3, which was buffed the last time it went to BMW..... I dont think I have seen such bad holograms in my life before! Even R2D2 would be proud of these! And above all the holograms, we had to contend with swirls...... LOADS of them, bird dropping etch marks and RIDS!

These are a few pics taken after the wash and prior to claying.

before SIP with wool pad, and finished with SIP on light cutting pad

Megesh was really getting stuck into the bottom of the doors



One of the RIDS, I managed to drastically minimise it. Again with SIP on a wool pad, followed by SIP on a light cutting pad.

We then topped off with 4 STAR paint sealant.

Took the number plate off to polish the rear door properly, you can see the scratches that the holder caused in the paint.
