    Cleanest e39 touring in America, and quite possibly the world.

    I just got back (at 3am) from finishing prepping Raff's car for bimmerfest. I think he is a member on here, because he also has an awesome e30 vert. I'm pretty sure his e39 is the cleanest car on the planet. It's not 100% swirl free by any means (8 year old BLACK paint ), but it looks awesome!

    Before


    Pre-wax... this is the paint without anything on it


    After

        Ahh ok.
        Always though I should give DP a try.
        XTM belongs to Pinnacle.

        and you're right it all belongs in the perfect sealant & follow up carnauba combo! :up:

          DP ftw

          and xmt > pinnacle polishes (i know they own xmt line, but there is also another line called pinnacle polishes if i'm not mistaken)

          I love the new LSP, its very exclusive

                Sorry, but I don't understand all these abbrieviations and acronyms you're throwing around. Can you elaborate? DP, XTM, LSP, ONR, etc...

                  agreed.

                  but that is one amazingly clean touring.

                    you're supposed to take the before/after shots from the same position so we can see if the swirls are gone
                    Not that I care, of course.

                          Ok Jordan...

                          Clean e39 though. Tasteful car minus the kit.

                              Is that wax residue in the rear bumper trim ??




                              Other than that (if thats what that is), it looks damn good from what I can tell. Black is a bitch to get right.
