Detailed: Jet Black 1995 BMW 525i (afters only)

This black '95 525i belongs to a very good friend of mine (almost a brother) and he's had it since April of last year. It's a 3-owner, Oregon-original car, always garaged and has 144,000 miles on it. We spent two whole days polishing the rock-hard older BMW paint to about 90%. The paint is getting thin in some places from 15 years of being polished so we didn't go for 100%.

We were so busy trying to beat the waning daylight that I didn't manage to get any before photos but here are some afters shot today.









I love this shot.










Thanks for looking!

I don't know what it is...they just seem to photograph well there.
