Cars a 2001 E39 M5 which being honest was in good condition apart from some hazing only noticable in direct sunlight and light swirl marks.
The previous owner had the car detailed 6 months ago......maybe where the hazing/buffer trails came from?
The aim was to fully correct the paint with a 2 stage process due to how hard the bmw paint is.

Anyway onto it and after 2 days in to it i uploaded some pics to find my memory card was playing up and not uploading alot of pics so sorry for the lack of befores or many 50/50s but hopefully youl be able to see the diffrence.
