Had a customer book this car the other day and just finished it up. This is a Graphite Grey 135i. Pretty much the same color as my own car and it was a beautiful car to work on. Only dislike was that the paint was rock hard.

It was booked for a spring cleanup, which meant to get rid of the salt and bringing gloss back to the paint. About 90-95% correction done.

Lots of pictures so 56k users, get a coffee.

Along with the holograms, the car had some light swirls

Interior was already clean, just needed to be vacuumed and wiped down. No dressing was used on plastics or leather since it already had a nice color to it.
