Okay I know many of us see a ton of dealers damage paint but boy oh boy this one was bad. So I get a call this week from 2 customers one with a 2004 BMW 530 (silver) with about 44k on it. Then another customer with a brand new 08 535ix with 13xx miles on it (black) both were in for an exterior paint correction/polish.

Well to my surprise and probably yours the one with 13xx miles was about 12 hours of work where as the 04 was probably 6-7 hours.

Here is the silver car 5:
