I asked myself this question about the paint on my 325i. its in sad shape. I decided on just doing the trunk lid, just to see if it would be worth it.

So i ran to the local Checker Automotive and picked up some wax and that new TurtleWax Ice Claybar stuff, figuring i would give it a try.

I took the wing off to get the 20 odd years of dirt out from underneath it.

Started with a wash, just to remove all loose dirts and surface soils.

After Claybar

Letting the wax haze

I did the same to the trunk spoiler too.Finished product



All in all, i am happy with the way it turned out. The paint is still nowhere near perfect, but at least i know it can look shiny and presentable again.Thanks for looking.
