Blake seeks advice on product recommendations to maintain his BMW M3:<\/p>\n
I have a pc7424. I also have a red BMW M3 with swirl marks and spidering. I need whatever pads polishes etc to get this baby looking new. Will you please put a package together for me? I will need a backing plate for the\u00a0Lake Country\u00a0pads as well. I have previously been using\u00a0Adams Polishes but can’t get the results I’m looking for using their products. Thanks for you help! Blake<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hi Blake, and thanks for submitting your question about product recommendations for your BMW M3.<\/p>\n
If you’re using a PC7424<\/a>, you have some options available to you that will net stunning results on your red paint. As with any other products, the keys to getting the most out of your polishing session are in the preparation, and making sure you’re properly breaking down the polishes.<\/p>\n
For BMW paint, it’s really tough to beat Menzerna polishes. The combination of Super Intensive Polish <\/a>(SIP) for medium cut, and 106FA<\/a> for finish polishing has been a standard in just about every pro detailers’ arsenal for some time now simply because it works…very well. If you either have light-medium defects, or if you’re willing to give up just a little bit of defect removal capability in favor of time savings, then I can also highly recommend Menzerna’s PO203S Power Finish<\/a>. This particular polish has the ability to cut down medium level defects, while finishing down almost as good as a dedicated finishing polish.<\/p>\n
Before polishing however, be sure to properly prep the paint during your wash<\/a> and claying<\/a> routines. Without this critical step, you may not achieve the same level of results.<\/p>\n
After you have\u00a0completed your polishing process, I’d recommend sealing the finish with a high quality sealant<\/a> that will provide good looks, and impressive durability as well.<\/p>\n
I’ll break down the product recommendations into two different categories. One is designed for heavier defects that will require a 2-step polishing process, and the other is designed for a one-step polishing process.<\/p>\n
Two-Step Polishing Process:<\/h2>\n
