e28 M5 cosmetic restoration
Hey all,
Just cataloging some work on a local 1988 e28 m5. Its been fully resprayed with 2 stage jet black several years ago. Interior is not in the best of shape and the owner plans on having the front seats redone. Full 3 stage polish with Opticoat will be done here. Spent a full 7 hours on the first stage. 1st degreased and cleaned the engine bay before   this bucket was clear when I began....  condition of the paint on the hood....ready for some love  ouch  etching and lots of RIDS  all taped up  test section on hood  2 passes got me this, 2 more stages and it should end up a mirror.  video showing the difference vs what I started with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWiJACZf0c0 Adams gorgeous s/c e39 M5 hanging out  trunk polished out.....damned good for 105 on purple wool.....killer combo for heavy correction  same treatment everywhere  corrected  as I left it tonight, ready for stage II
