BMW 1 Series Black - Vincent - 15-10-2010 02:26 PM

A good friend of mine bought this car last week and was eager to get it looking new again... So I got him to bring it around to my place last night and gave it a good Exterior Paint Make over...

I also got my chance to try out the Menz Power Gloss and boy oh boy... that stuff cuts insane... I barely had the machine up to Speed 2 and the swirls Vanished faster than I could blink.
Unreal that stuff.

My LSP was the always astounding BlackFire Wet Diamond Sealant.
Unbelievable how this stuff just wows me everytime.

I finished at 12 last nite and so left my camera with my friend to take some after pics in the light today.

And this is what came up

That 50/50 on the bonnet is damn impressive!

Power Gloss used as a 1stepper then Vincent?

Hi Onyx,
I used the Powergloss only a part of the bonnet... just to try it out.
Then I went with the normal SIP on the rest of the car
Followed by the Menz Final Finish
Then LSP - Blackfire Wet Diamond
