1997 neglected 7 series BMW

tdekany · 10-28-2009, 09:19 PM

I slept from 5 am to 7 am (Dodge srt10) Drove to Salem.

Worked on this from 9am to 12am. Did what I could, the owner wanted it looking better.

Saved time by not using my tripod in the after pictures but most came out blurry.

Just look at the condition of the paint.

Closer look at what I had to tackle.

Try #1

Try #2

BEFORE

AFTER

Only 2 finished pictures.

PROCESS WAS:

clay
105 wool (many passes in many places) rotary
105 orange pad flex 3401
205 gray pad rotary
ZAIO green pad flex 3401
FK1 #1000 flex3401
FK1 FX100
