Had the car detailed at the start of the month as the paintwork was rubbish.

Every time I cleaned it the car just came up with lots of scratches and swirl marks so I decided to look around and get a speacialist in.

Paintwork started like this...








and ended up like this...















Well chuffed with the work. The chap is called Iain and runs his own little outfit called Finer Details. I would thoroughly recommend him. Anybody wants his details let me know.

I have his full report for those polishing bods if interested

He spent 7 hours machine polishing and buffing

sounds like a good job

not surprised it took 7 hours machine polishing - it is an M5 and BMW paint is hard

Is it just me or do the after pictures still show swirls?

Hope you didn't pay him.

No its not

Not so much Jesus, but more of a disciple then

Yes there are swirls left You didn't see the car before he started.

There was 1.8 microns of paint on the bonnet when he started. To the unitiated this basically means the bonnet had a respray. He phoned me at lunchtime to tell me he couldn't get underneath the new paint to get at the previous scratches. Basically a poor respray.

He HAS done a miracle - believe me. See his other work on detailing world.

Gad-He didn't do the wheels. They are badly scuffed and need a refurb however I cannot find a good refurber.

Have you doled out any serious punishment in that beast?

It does look very smart indeed. I understand the paint IS quite hard to grind, too.

I thought of "Jesus ON a polishing cloth" - a sort of microfibre Turin shroud, if you will.
