Nikku Detailed: BMW 328i Coupe Sapphire Black

Client brought this in for a detail.

The car has been resprayed twice. The bumper was resprayed, the rear fender was resprayed and the driver side door and front fender was blended when repainted.

The issue with the repaint was the clear coat was very very soft. So as expected the area was heavily swirled.

Paint readings were healthy all around from oem to the repainted areas.

Anyways on to the detail.

BEFORE

































DURING

With the paint correction there were a few things to consider the repainted areas and the oem areas. The hood was hit with Intensive Polish then followed up with PO85rd. The bumper that was repainted was hit with M105 and then M205. The soft repainted and blended areas surrounding the rear fender was hit with a variation of SIP, PF, 106ff and PO85rd polishes.

















































PRE-LSP



The lines by the sun reflection are not holograms. Coincidentally planes left a trail of cloud or whatever you call it above. At first it freaked me out but realized they were cloud lines. Anyways on with the rest of the pics.





















A few shots after Collinite








Thanks for looking.

Yeap. There were two different clears. One factory one from a respray. While the factory remained fairly hard the respray required a softer touch. that being said there are some polishes that were used by the owner that required more passes but was safer to use because he was new to polishing. I showed him how to use PF and IP.

Hope this clarifies things.
