A really nice gentleman named Sam contacted me about coating his brand new M5. With less than 350 miles on this car, I knew that there was always room for improvement. We went through and scrutinized every inch of this car making sure it was as close to perfect as we could make it.
After a full wash, Iron-X treatment, Nanoskin treatment, then proper drying, we were ready to start polishing the paint.
Here you can see we saw this hazy circular area in the trunk. Previous polishing?

No matter what it was we finished it down to clarity.

We also found some isolated damage. Everything was corrected using M205 and a Yellow Rupes pad.

Some of the damage wasn't worth capturing on camera, but this one was.

Finally, after another wash, and a wipe down using Eraser we were ready to coat the paint. This one got coated with Cquartz Finest, and ended up looking dripping wet.

As always thanks for looking. Greg Gellas :)
