Often times, it’s only the show cars or the garage queens that have their paint taken care of properly. This is unfortunate because it’s the daily drivers that will really benefit from the regular maintenance and protection. Many people don’t bother taking care of their daily driver because they think, “it will just get dirty tomorrow anyways.” While this may be true, an unprotected car’s finish being subject to the abuse of daily use is likely to not last very long. Black cars, like this 5 series for example, need very regular and carefully performed maintenance in order to stay swirl free. If this maintenance isn’t kept up the vehicle will quickly be covered in very visible wash scratches.
While having a hard life up until now, this black M5 came in for one of our most comprehensive packages — the Connoisseur Detail. This is the package we suggest to customers who are really looking for maximum paint correction. Cars that receive this detail will go through a three stage paint correction process to really make sure any surface scratches (that don’t require wet sanding) will be removed. Depending on factors such as mileage, weather, where the vehicle is stored and so on, this should generally last the customer between 4 and 6 months. Watch the transformation this 5 series goes though from start to finish below!
Looks pretty good from a couple feet back right?
While the vehicle may look good from afar, it’s not until we get up close that we really get a feel for how much damage there is to the paint.
Now for the correction process…
next comes the application of the protective coat of wax
