That does look good. Tell us what you used and the steps you took. Very nice finish you should be proud.

Thanks guys!

It wash a 2 bucket wash with NXT wash, followed by a clay. Makita rotary with lake country pads after that. Poor Boys SSR3 on wool pads first to get rid of the swirls. Poor boys SSR1.5 on a white pad after that. Menzerna final polish, then menzerna finishing touch glaze, both on a PC buffer. Used menzerna FMJ on the car, 2 coats, plus one coat on the wheels. Then finished up with dodo juice supernatural by hand.

Thanks again for the compliments! I'm not a professional, but I love to make my cars look nice. JUST got rid of my '04 Z4 for an R50. Will post pics when I'm done making it look purdy. I will post pics of a few other details I've done soon. The guys at detailedimage.com have been a huge help with my product selection and advice. They come very highly recommended from me!
