DetailersDomain.com - Much needed paint correction on this BMW M5 e39
A great customer came to us with his "NEW" to him BMW M5 e39 - it was mechanically in great condition and to the best of his knowledge at pick up was "Detailed". After a couple of washes he was a bit surprised to see how his "NEW" car looked. He called us up and we were brought on to fix all the dealers mistakes.
Subject: BMW M5 Requirement: Customer requested to fix his paint on his new to him M5. Glaze when used under the wrong hands is just not good.

Dealers like to bring in those crappy detailers who just use a bunch of fillers with an orbital buffer. I'll have to find a video of the guy who thought he was hot shit and did this thinking it was the right way.
Found it. This is one of those guys that causes this shit to happen in the first place. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmKIXZH-ZE"]Paint Overspray Removal International Services " Volvo C30 Plug in 400 Volt Electric car" - YouTube[/ame] Last edited by SubaSteve; 04-26-2013 at 04:21 PM. |
