oh dang, i just comment on the M3 one and then i see the M5 detail!!! you really are just tooo coool hahah

quick question, why did you use the powergloss on the m3 but not on the m5? was the paint just worse shape on the black car? reason i ask is i was thinking of getting some, but i only have a udm not a makita. i need something with a bit more bite for some parts of my car right now. kinda torn between the powergloss and the megs 105 (i think)

but hey.... another sweet detail MI looks beautiful this time of year eh

Yes, the M3 paint was in HORRIBLE shape, the M5 had moderate swirls

MI is nice right now, not for long though

Great Work Again!!

A couple of questions:
  • How long did this detail take you?
  • How large of an area are you able to polish using the rotary?

Thanks!! This detail didn't take too long because not all panels needed all steps... 15 Man hours total.

To give you an Idea of my work area, I split the hood into 3 parts, the doors into 3 parts, trunk lid into 4 parts....
