Orange Peel removal on an AW M5

Was a little slow today, decided BMW had a little too much orange peel, so i went ahead and did some sanding. If the car was SO like we wanted, it would have looked even better. But this definitely enhanced the AW gloss to another level. The third pic is the trunk, had to really get down low to show how flat i got the paint to be. I also painted the mirrors gloss black (sanded these as well to remove what little peel it had when i painted it) I think there is some wax on it, (my apologies)

Not sure how to exactly post individual links to each pic via flikr, but oh well.


Enjoy!

You do all the work yourself? Looks phenomenal, comes out really well in the side shots. Wish I had the balls to wet sand my car
