I don't normally post this sort of thing but since this car was such a huge challenge I figured I'd go ahead and share it with everyone.

I was asked to clean up a 2008 BMW 335i for the daughter of a coworker before she sold it and I have to say this car had some of the hardest, most ill mannered paint I've ever encountered. And it was in much worse condition than I had suspected. The car has over 80,000 miles on it and is never garaged. She had just had some work done at the dealer and they washed it before she picked it up. Still...........

The wheels had brake dust caked in the bolt holes and inside the barrels of the wheels. I used Wheel Brightener to clean up that mess quickly.



A quick spray with Wheel Brightener, a few seconds of agitation with a brush, and the baked on crud just rinsed away.


The car might have just been washed, but it was in desperate need of claying. This is the crud that I picked up from just half of the small trunk lid.


Up next, a full visual inspection of the paint................
