Default Bye Bye swirls on black



Here is what happend to this poor guy after he went to a BMW dealer to get his 740I detailed. It was dusk when he picked it up, imagion what happened when he saw his car in the sun the next day. HE FREEKED!!!!!!!!! he refused to go back (what a suprise) so I got the car through word of mouth. This car took 5 hours just on the outside. Luckily I have an interior guy or I would still be at it. Here is the results of a 5 step. I will post process tomorrow, tooo tired tonight. Gary

That's the kind of job that really showcases the talents of a great detailer. I'm sure you are worn out, but you should have a customer for life. Great job!

Hello Gary. My 04 LE Turbo is black and I have a few swirl marks, probably from my former "California Dust Mover" that I need to remove. No marks penetrate the clear coat.
Could you post your 5 step process for us please? I have a weekend long date with my Crusier coming up and I want to treat her with the respect she deserves.
Our big Cruiser Cruise is coming up the weekend of the 15th and I want to be the "shining star"!

Thanks for all your help.

HIllCruiser, Hand wash/clay (see my web site for claying tips) wash again, my paint cleaner/ Polish (optional my cleaner has polish in it) paint seal. If the swirls are not bad, this should do the trick. Gary
