Hello All,

- 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 (allowed to cure over night)

great job on the correction. the 105/205 combo is something beyond amazing. it's hard to make a white car so shiny, but you did it - I recently just polished my ip coupe, it's hard work.

That would be awesome! I haven't seen you and David in ages! Although David did call me a few months ago and I hooked him up with parts while he was at Infiniti (employee pricing) lol

Nice car...I used to have an '06 330i and I had a shift know that was very similar to yours except it was about 1/2 inch to an inch lower. It was well worth the money but I forget what it's called :/
