It was hard to capture the defects on this car for some reason, the swirls were there but very fine on the soft black BMW paint.

I started with the hood since it needed the most attention, I also spot sanded the area where the bird dropping had etched into the clear. Time was limited so I couldnt get as many shots as I would have liked too.


Test section, looks good to me!


I then moved onto the sides,

If you took pics of the interior , you should upload them

the interior was clean already since the car was fairly new, there would be no difference between the pictures before and after, so I didnt take any. Although I suppose I should have just taken a couple final shots of it.

91% ( theres 70% and 91% ) Isopropyl alcohol . Mix it with distilled water and use it to get all the residue compunding left, off the paint before polishing
