This one needed a bit of work....compound was needed to lighten up the etch marks but that being said they were not removed completely. The etching was in there good.

We had Menzerna and a Paint Guy look at this car when they were in for meetings and they both agreed that this car needed to be wetsanded down and re cleared it was pretty bad.

Phil, nice job indeed. It just amazes me how people trash out or neglect nice cars like BMW M Series vehicles.

Wow!!! Amazing job, looks like it took a while to do, so detailed and precise on every little spot. You did a great job, looks better then it did from factory!

It's nice car overall, the person who brought it in is kind of lazy, it was in horrible shape. Least he did something about it.

Wow that's gorgeous! I can't believe somebody would let that beauty get that dirty, but I catch myself letting my car get that way sometimes.

But holy rusted rotors. That needs to get fixed asap.

I'm sure a drive around the block will fix up the rusted rotors. It's just rust developing from the wash. Apply the brakes a few times and rust will be gone.

OP - great work. Looks fantastic! Where was the etching? I definitely couldn't tell from the pics. I'm sure the customer was happy with the finished product.

Outstanding Work!

Man.....you brought out the heavy artillery with the Power Gloss and Yellow pad. That clear must be pretty hard.
