Car: 2010 BMW 125i

Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction

Comments:
- This car was covered in swirls, scuffs and even some deeper scratches
- Unfortunately, these imperfections can hide the true colour of the black sapphire metallic and the paintwork will lack lustre and depth. This case was no exception.
- Some deeper imperfections remained but overall a great result and another satisfied owner

2005 BMW E46 325ci M Sport

Car: 2005 BMW E46 325ci M Sport

Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction

Comments:
- Although the paintwork wasn't too contaminated, there were obvious imperfections including medium to heavy swirls and various holograms (bodyshops in the past).
- The paintwork also lacked lustre and depth that should really be shown from Silver Grey Metallic.
- Unfortunately, the job was finished at night so we didn't have the best complete after photos. However, we managed to take some photos when the paintwork was corrected (prior to any waxes and sealants being applied) so you can see the clear/naked results of the correction.
- Minor detailing and finishing was completed after photography.
- Gloss, clarity and depth were all restored to this fantastic luminous SGM paintwork and yet again, another very happy owner

Car: 2002 BMW E46 M3

Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction

Comments:
-Although a fairly well kept example, the Phoenix Yellow paintwork lacked gloss and true depth
-The combination of swirls, contamination and some deep scratches on the roof were removed and in some cases only reduced.
-Another happy owner for this classic rejuvenated E46 M3!
(Apologies for the before and during photos - it was very hard to capture the imperfections)

Car: 2012 Range Rover Sport

Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction & Interior Clean with Leather Condition

Comments:
- Although a fairly new car in reasonable condition, this RR had displayed some signs of typical cosmetic wear in the form of holograms and swirls
- Wheel wells and lower panels were heavily contaminated due to some offroad use.
- Interior was also covered in the usual contaminants along with stains and dirt on the extended leather.
- Clarity and gloss restored on this 4WD's exterior along with the freshening up of plastic parts.
- Leather was also restored back to its factory finish and yet again, another happy owner!

Car: 2007 BMW E92 325i

Service: Stage 3 Paint Correction

Comments:
- From the get go, the paint looked tired, barely showing any depth or clarity
- Under flash, it was obvious the holograms and swirls were the ones concealing the Black Sapphire Metallic paintwork
- Although the car was in tidy condition, every panel suffered from paint defects
- Paint correction not ensured that defects were removed, but clarity and gloss were restored to the paintwork
- Not much time for 50/50 shots, so simply before and afters were taken on this one! Again, another happy owner

Some nice photos here. What sort of gu units are you achieving from your details if you don't mind me asking?

Also the foam bath, why are you using that method of cleaning? A painted layer is a smooth surface which does not need foaming agents to get 'inside' parts of the paint. For eg. clothes in the washing machine need soap to agitate within the fibers.
