I was approached by this customer after a garage incident at his condominium. The management was stupid enough to use his car to sustain a couple of cardboard boxes and obviously the bottom of the boxes had dirt. Upon removal of the boxes by management they induced bad marring on the trunk and along the rear passenger side rocker panel.

So here we are now and I suggested that the customer just go for a spot correction for the affected areas, a winter prep and leave a full correction for the spring.

First off this car is beautiful. I just love colour of the vehicle and choice of wheels for this beast. Audi + classy wheels are always a win in my book. In this particular case the owner chose Klass KF400 wheels. I am so very glad that he did.

One last thing due to my busy schedule as well as his I accommodated the customer by detailing it overnight and just for fun he made things even more interesting by bringing along his brothers C350 for a quick wash and wax before I had to tackle his car. I also had a 335i booked for the next morning. It was a fun 17 hours of detailing. :applause2:

Ok so I apologize for not getting the defects on the passenger side rocker panel but I am sure you can tell from the trunk that there was significant marring.

Yes the car is a little bit on the dirty side but that's what we're here for.

I wanted to make sure I had enough time to look after the defects so I ONR'd the affected areas and proceeded to polish them up nicely before moving onto the winter prep for the rest of the vehicle.









The interior was given a much needed a good vacuum, conditioned and protected. I would have liked to have spent more time on the edges of the mats but time was a factor.

Excellent work. I wouldn't give it back to the guy. No one should drive let alone store a car that dirty.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

Looks great. That was a hell of a turnaround on the wheels
