335i Jet Black Correction

Hello All,
This car came to me as a forum member who was looking for a detail. He was looking to bring his paint back to life, and I told him I would b glad to help. Here is what was done:

Exterior

- Sonax Wheel Cleaner to all 4 wheels and cleaned up with various brushes
- Wheel wells were cleaned up and dressed
- Washed with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash
- Iron X to remove any iron deposits in the paint
- Wash down and rinsed
- Door jambs were cleaned up
- Clayed
- Dried
- Masked up

Correction Work
- Megs D300 on an MF pad
- Megs 205 on a White pad
- Menz PO85RD on a black bad
- Washed down again with CGCW (to remove all oils)
- Black Fire Wet Diamond by hand
- Rubber and Plastics cleaned and treated
- Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned, clayed and polished
- Exhaust tips cleaned, polished, and waxed

On to the good stuff!
Upon Arrival: (it was raining and night time)

Someones been hitting the drag strip...

Customer was quite happy, and might be doing his brothers car next. Thanks for looking all, and if anyone needs some work done in the Orlando area, please let me know. And as always, comments or suggestions welcomed!
-Chris

Excellent work man! I have a detailer scheduled to come by my place this Thursday and if they do even half as good a job as you did here, I will be a happy camper lol. Luckily my paint isn't that bad though =).

How long did that take? And how much money did it set the owner back?

Phenomenal job, man! The before pics of the swirls are hard to look at. Can't believe they came out as well as they did. How long did it take to do the job?

Just curious, how much does a job like this go for? I want to do it on my Ivory Pearl G and see if it'll make it brighter and shine, but never found out how much it runs for.

I usually charge anywhere from $250-$300 for a job such as this depending on how much correction needs to be done. Guaranted awesome afterwards if done properly.

Thank you all for the kind words! I spent roughly 14 hours on the car from start to finish
