Hi everyone.
Just spoke to Ashish and thought it may be an idea to get the quick wright up I did on here so the severity of the paint is shown.
Certainly gives an idea of how it was and what can be achieved in a short time.
As Ashish has explained this was an entry level enhancement detail to liven the paint, remove some light swirling and create a more vibrant finish worthy of the car.
Finally since Monday I have supposed to of been doing this lovely BMW Z4 enhancment and today the weather was excellent and time was now.
Ashish had washed the car prior to me coming over by the looks of things so I wasn’t going to bore everyone with the before.

Plenty of life and a more vibrant look finally.
Yet another 50/50 on the passenger door:
Polishing process was undertaken via
milwaukie rotary,
lake country 8” foamed wool pad and
menzerna power finish to cut a number of swirls and scratches down marginally if not completely removed with one hit.
Refined using
dodo juice lime prime on a
3M yellow polishing pad and worked to death to give as much depth as possible.
LSP was tricky as I was going down the collinite route but it was a nice warm day and I felt the car needed a nice carnauba warming glow.
Ive had
rubbishboys OE for quite some time now and thought “why not?”
Great wax, first ever hard wax ive used, felt thick when applying but after curing the results were spectactular.
