BMW F30 OptiCoat by Hamza7
 
Here we have a 2013 BMW 3.28i with only 400 KM on it. There are some stains and swirls we have to take care of.

Here is a preview before I start.

Taking care of the tires, rims, and wheel wells

Here’s all the dirt and silicon from the tires releasing

Brought inside to be clayed and polished
I found some tree sap or something attached to a door handle

I forgot to take pictures of it being clayed but nothing significant came out

As you can tell, we do quite a bit of BMWs


I polished the black pillars, as people always find a way to scratch these before customer delivery

http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/...0/IMG_1163.jpg

Here they are finished and flawless

Here’s the difference

I opti coated the car and of course forgot to take pictures

Here she is fully done. It was overcast so there are no sun pictures

This vehicle was Opti Coated.
