BMW 330Ci Basic Detail
My cousin and I detailed this BMW 330CI last week. It looked great inside and out but it was filled with buffer trails. It's a little hard to see in the pictures, but it was pretty nasty looking.
Our friend gave us the freedom to do what we thought would make the car look its best. So we did a 1-step with Menz 203 on the vertical surfaces and a 2-step with Menz SIP and Menz 203 on the horizontal surfaces since it was more swirling.
Let me know what you guys think!
Here's what we did to the exterior:
Sorry, we didn't take pictures of the interior since it was fairly clean to begin with.
Before.
Buffer Trails!!! a little hard to see
Before buffing.
After buffing - bye bye trails.
Completed!
