Single Stage Paint Buffing and Polishing

[richardb]

Made this quick video on buffing single stage paint. If your E30 has original paint and is matte and chalky, you can likely bring it back to an amazing glossy shine with some effort.

Indeed. This is great. You've inspired me to give it a shot on my own red e30. Great videos across the board. They're very well done.

Sad but true, Paint will fade again in future. Once that amount of paint comes on the pad, its the time for new clear coat.

Thanks man! You definitely should give it a shot. Start with one panel, fire up the coffee machine and take your time

True it will fade if it's not maintained. It will require periodic wash and wax to keep it looking good. The sun will fade the paint again if it just sits for years without any love!
