The only reason for this article is simply to show off a recent detail job we performed on a new BMW M5, one we’re extremely proud of to have achieved such amazing results :).\u00a0 The car was initially in poor condition, even for a car that was only a few months old.\u00a0 It had suffered a front end accident and also had a few parts repainted before it came to us.\u00a0 Once we finally had this car in our possession, it was decided that a 2-3 stage paint correction was best before applying the 22ple VX1 Pro Glass Coating<\/a>.\u00a0 Some parts of the vehicle were even polished with 3-4 stages of correction due to some bad holograms and deeper scratches caused by the dealership and body shop.\u00a0 Unfortunately, we lost most of the photos, which included all of the “before” photos we took the first day due to a bad memory card in the camera, so all we have below are the nicer looking after shots.<\/p>\n

Initially the M5 was in great shape when it came from the factory, with a few minor holograms and some swirls here and there.\u00a0 Since we had to schedule about 2 months in advance, the car went through a lot with typical daily damage, washing and drying, and the mentioned trip to the body shop.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the body shop did their typical handy work in not only causing holograms and marring from the aggressive polishes and pads, but also leaving wax in all the crevices.\u00a0 This took a while to improve, but we were able to do so within a 2 day period and here are the results…<\/p>\n

Few shots in the sunlight showing how perfect the paint came out and the beautiful metallic flake showing through the 22PLE coating…<\/p>\n

As you can see from the photos, the car came out really well.\u00a0 We also coated the wheels with the 22ple VM1 Rim and Metal Coating<\/a>, so the entire vehicle will look great and will be well protected for a long time to come.\u00a0 I hope you enjoyed viewing the photos as much as we enjoyed taking them and working with this car!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
