GST Auto Detail Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I've needed to do this for a long time now, but with being so busy with customer's vehicles, it's hard to find time. Well, yesterday I finally had time, so I did a much needed paint correction on my wife's BMW. The paint was pretty bad, as it had a lot of spider webbing. The previous owner obviously did not know the proper way to wash a vehicle. I used the Adams paint correcting polish with the new gen. 6 matching orange pad. Since the car is black, I probably need to follow it up with the Adams finishing polish with matching white pad, but honestly, the paint correcting polish finished down extremely well. One thing I do have to say is that BMW clear-coat is hard, and I mean hard. Most of my corrections have been done on GM and Dodge's, and the clear coat on them has been much softer. Still, it was nothing the Adams paint correcting polish couldn't handle. It just took a little more time working the paint with the dual action. Anyway, here are some pictures of the finished product. zapdon and Feets31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egott_91 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Car came out great. BMW clear is definitely a hard clear. My experience with GM clear is that it's relatively hard too, but not nearly as hard as BMW clear. My step-dad has a M6 in Black Sapphire Metallic that we need to get polished.

GST Auto Detail Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks guys! The BMW clear was by far harder than anything I've worked with before. Over the weekend, while I had it out in direct sunlight, I noticed I need to go back over the trunk lid area again. The rest of the car looked flawless.

GST Auto Detail Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 How long did it take you? Im about to do the same any tips? Im going to be using the Cyclo. It took me about 5 or 6 hours, but that was just the actual paint correction and not the prep work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
