Lambchop Polishes Le mans

[Lambchop]

Hi Guys

So detailing cars ( Apart from my own car ) wasnt on my list of priorities this year so Iv decided to end it on a high

One of my good mates asked if i could polish his 2007 335i BMW
So I couldnt say no ... It was in a bit of a state. Scratches RIDS swirls Stone chip . You name it , It had it
But No job to hard for OCD individual

List of goodies used

*Foam Lance with high dosage of CWG
*CWG
*Menzerna SIP
*LC orange and Yellow pad
*wool Pad
*Various Brushed
*Smart Clay
*Adams Detailing spray
*RaceGlaze 55
*Rimwax
*Megs Endurance gel
*various MF cloths

A few befores .. The car wasnt bad from a few meters away







The Foam lance in action



My trusty mule


This was after it was washed with CWG


No pics of the claying process ..But the panels were very clean


Now for the money shots





All taped up and ready to go



Now for the results - I had to try alot of combinations on this paint . Something I wasnt realy used to .. But It was good practice


















Thanks for looking

Stunning job Nick, car looks better than new

What did you end up settling on for the correction process and did she give you hell?

Great to see you giving the Flex a workout again after the long 'dry season'

Thanks Dave

Dude i tried more combos than Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon"
I tried Scholl S17 on a Orange ,Yellow and Wool Pad ----- No good
3M FCP on Orange yellow and Wool ---- No good
Megs M106 on Orange Yellow and Wool -----No good

Then by sheer chance i tried the Menz SIP on a wool pad
Hectic combo but def did the job ... I did the correction in half the time

I would have liked to have refined the polishing a bit more but was really strapped for time
but im well impressed with the results

I think its time for a rotary now though

Sounds like typical ceramic clear coats....They can be a right PITA to correct!
