Had the pleasure yesterday of performing an enhancement detail (1 step machine polish to remove swirls and enhance clarity) on this rare beast.
A sepia blue pearl individual BMW colour, supposedly only 1 of 2 in the country, the other being a coupe.
Full AC Schnitzer kit and every BMW extra box ticked by the original owner, standing it in around the £80,000 mark when new.

Not a big write up as time was against me, so limited pics.

Washing stage done in the usual manner with Megs range,
De-contamination with Tardis to wheels, paintwork and residue from ACS badge removal, clayed with Sonus green and Last touch,
Enhancement done via the rotary using a Megs polishing pad and #83,
Paintwork wiped down with IPA followed by Z Hd-cleanse applied using a mf applicator,
Trim and arches dressed with All seasons, tyres dressed with Blackfire gel,
Brightwork polished using Britemax metal duo and fine grade wirewool to exhaust areas,
[email protected] concours applied to all paintwork, Opti-seal to alloys throughout,
Glass cleaned throughout using SV crystal,
Interior given a tickle with the vac, carpets sealed using Nanolex fabric protectant, trim wiped down with apc and leather cleaned and fed with Z-9 & Z-10,
Hood protected using Nanolex fabric hood protectant,
Final wipedown with Z-8 and completed.

Some of the typical defects,

Thanks for looking and comments welcome as always.

Thanks mate, most carbon is clearcoated so can be treated like paint, machined with a finishing polish, drop of paint cleanser and protected.:thumbsup

I hate taking the pics with the discs like that and I know it only takes a second to pull back and forward, but at the end of a long day you know how it is.
