BMW 1M - Vinyl Correction and Protection Top Up - Auto Finesse Desire!

(1/1)

RussZS:
This 1M has been corrected by me previously but has recently had its front end wrapped to protect it from stone chips.  The owner wanted me to try and deal with some of the swirling and scratches in the film and also lay down some more protection on the rest of the car to make it easier to wash and maintain.

Next the car was foamed with Bilt Hamber:

Then the car was moved inside and carefully dried using Uber Towels and my blower.

After assessing the film under lighting it was quite apparent that it was littered in scratches and swirls:

Auto Finesse Tripple was used via DA to deal with these:
