what was used:

looking for the light white mist of overspray thats mostly on the drivers side of the nose. it was found lightly in other areas like the roof & both of the sides. the nose was the worst condition.

overspray is most visible with the shop flourescent lights turned off & halogen lighting turned on.
i inspect the car under 2,000 watts of halogen light. when im working ill keep 500-1,000 watts on. for final inspection ill kick it back up to 2,000 watts just to make sure i dont miss not a single microscopic dot of overspray!

claying the hood:
you can see the clay lube is milky white.
thats the clay bar doing its job in pulling the white paint off of the X5s factory clear coat.

customers feedback a few months later. it took him a little bit to come across the writeup.

Damn dude, i thought this never went up!! was following it for first week or so.
Shes still sitting clean man, you did a fantastic job. BMW told me i needed a new paint job, and the other dude asked for close to 2k. You did what you had to do and it worked, I cant front. Cant beat the price and the quality.
Good **** Anthony! made her look better than new.
ill be seeing you soon for spring.

i wonder what BMW wouldve charged him.

thanks for looking!
