Hi guys

I have an X3 in for minor paint correction. The paint was pretty sorry and the goal was to remove 50%+ paint defects. The interior was not bad...just wipe down and vacuum was all that it needed.

here's the process

Clean wheels & tires, tar and iron removal
Foam with OPC via Kranzle k1120T + Foam cannon
2BM wash, followed with Tar & Iron removal
Clay bar treatment
IPA wipedown, blow and towel dried
Masking tape
Polished with GG 5in & 3in DA polishers via Uber green pad with Menz powerfinish
Rewash- IPA wipedown- Paint cleanse with CG Blacklight
3 coats of Opti-seal
Interior wipedown and vacuum
Dress tires, seal wheels with Opti-seal
Cleanse glass with DG105 and clean with AF crystal
