E38 750

[drive 'n' shine]

Yesterday saw me sort out this E38

Before

Usual foam, TBM wash & clay

Pre polish inspection revealed a few serious defects including this nasty key scratch which ran the entire length of the rear door and about 4 inches into the front one.

There were others but none were picked up by the camera, silver really is a pain to work on!

So as it was a BM and i knew checking progress was going to be a right pain, i went with my usual combo of 3.02 & a spot of FA. Thoroughly checking each set with Brinkmann, halogens and the sun when it occasionally popped its head out.

Only one real choice with LSP on silver imo - Zaino, so cpl of layers of Z-2 later we ended up with this.
