No photo editing trickery here. Just some hard and long hours spent correcting this boot lid through a 4 - 5 stage paint correction.
This is basically the last resort before a paint shop respray is necessary and is on strict request by the owner.
Nice work mate.
Plenty of similar scratches on my car. Your in for a treat this weekend Raj. I'm convinced the guy that use to own my car was a pig. Contamination is an understatement. I'll be expecting to pick up a new 335i BSM come this Sunday.

2009 BSM 335i

Car: 2009 BMW 335i in Black Sapphire Metallic

Service: Stage 2 Paint Correction

Comments:
- Not the best paintwork with scratches, holograms and swirls all over the car
- Heavy cutting required in the initial stage finished with a final finish
- Heavily contaminated as previous owner lived on a farm
- Paintwork was left with a smooth and clean finish. Not to mention, metallic flake was evident and depth and clarity was definitely restored.

Few photos below:
