Turned out great. Why oh why do people take their cars to street corner car washes
Dreadful swirling and holograms but you've achieved a fantastic end result, I hope you've convinced him to steer clear of the £5 quick wash in future? Would a 2 stage enhancement work well on hard BMW clear coat with less swirling than that? I refuse to do FB so haven't seen any of your video's before

Hey buddy, i have NO idea why on gods earth people use these scratch and shines, this car literally looked matt black when it arrived due to the level of paint damage.... Ive ask the owner to make sure the car has safe washes moving forward with 2 bucket method, so this will be one i maintain moving forward. Yes i believe a 2 stage enhancement would make a big impact on our hard clear coats, with careful product choice , good tooling, i would expect fantastic results, usually i get the cars in to do a test patch and this gives me the answers i need to know. Thankyou for the comments on the video, its a first attempt and will get much better. Whats difficult is stopping work to record etc.
R.E the car the owner and i was so so so happy with the results... In the light it looked like a mirror finish and in dark cloudy conditions almost like a smoked chrome, honestly a total transformation!
Also i hear you on FB... i use it for business purpose ONLY, and until this year i'd not have a FB account!! lol! I get Alot of my work based of the social media so its a must for me!
What i am happy to say is, i am bloody busy, solid bookings and all big work really... Ive made some excellent business contacts and together im able to deliver excellent standards of work and i seem to be much more reasonably priced than alot of my competitors. The big one... is i ADORE what i do...
This weeks biggy..... Turns back to BMW... 535D f10 with individual interior.
This ones in for a 2 stage enhancement, Interior detail, Stone and scratch repair, Wax coating ( Yayyyyyyy), my heart leaps when i get a wax sealant ) and wheel refurb (maybe, awaiting customer approval)
So... who can name the colour??????

Azurite black... ding ding ding.
Was all going so so well until the customer called and says change of plan.... i need the car back today due to a business issue i gotta go tonight!!!! , so i lost 9 hours of correction time..... so the 2 stage becomes a one stage, job rushed, wasn't a happy bunny at all but managed to send it out not bad considering the change of plan. Sometimes just gotta work with it i guess.... Honestly, a 1 step on this paint didn't give the results i was happy with, my test patches went out the window, new compounds and pads needed to try and get a decent finish in the time scale left. Left me feeling flustered/rushed all day.

BMW f10 m5 maintenance safe wash and a alittle walk around, what a car!!! Customer isnt looking for another detail yet, reports the coating is pretty much gone and wants to add gloss. I did a MSW ( or my version of it) and finished up with a Wax rich drying aid, the customer will continue to use his c2 v3 as part of his regular maintenance work. Excuse my poor video work, im slowly getting better and more comfortable on camera! im trying!! lol!!

Finishing off the shop car wrap now ive got alittle time... in the Peugeot Coupe franche colour ( basically the front sections wrapped matt and the rear cut off) scheme mentioned before. Difficult door and door handles on this car as the bottom edge of the door recesses inwards and has all sorts of recessed shapes... Alot of hardware removal to get the doors done cleanly.... On the rear Quarter i cut strips of carbon film with my plotter and laid them down to give a cool effect on the edging... looks really neat!
This car was being sold to make way for a new hot hatch... Decided to keep it... Love it too much. Its great package with the mods done so im pleased she's staying.
