Hi guys,

So it's been a while since my last thread of a KDS Detailing customer car, my last thread actually being my own car a TVR Tuscan (which is now sold), and I do have a replacement car to restore very soon and will be documented too :thumb:

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=321478

So here is the feature car as per title of this thread,

A fully wet sanded BMW M3 limited edition car.

The new customer to KDS rang and chose the Platinum Wet Sand package to resolve the dreaded poor paint finish on new BMW's,
this is not Just a BMW problem and have noticed the "trend" of many other car manufactures which have the similar issue.

I decided to post a HD video first instead of photos.
The reason behind this,

We have found and seen for ourselves recently that photos are easy to alter to show what you wish and what you don't want to show and not give the real results even more so when it comes to showing orange peel removal.
We found its very difficult to alter a "true" HD video :thumb:

Here at KDS we try our best to not use headline grabbing titles or ANY alteration of photos and videos to show our work,
I like the fact we been called on many occasions as "transparent" and hide nothing.

Here's the video



This car is now on our website:

Sorry for lack of threads hopefully we will be able to update more often in the future now I have additional staff to deal with the IT data base of photos and videos.

More to come in the future and hope you enjoyed the video ;)

Regards Kelly

I work at a BMW dealership, have a lot of involvement with warranty claim authorisations. The only reason BMW would request paint depth readings is to confirm that a panel hasn't been painted outside the factory. Lower than average depths wouldn't have any influence on a paintwork claim being authorised.

Fantastic work Kelly, some would say thats the way they should look from the factory but I'm glad they don't...

Some of the pics show the gauge reading 3 layers and some 2 layers...presuming the readings 1,2,3 are from the surface down...clear coat,base coat,primer etc.Is such a variance normal?



"Back to the X5, BMW only posssess a total paint depth guage..."
Some very trick/expensive gauges though...

Kelly, can I just ask how you'd deal with wetsanding a panel with varying thicknesses?

I have horrendous orange peel on my car and the roof and side panels all read around 140mu. Yet for some reason the bonnet goes from 80 at the front all the way to 140 from about half way.

I'm thinking it may have seen some for of smart repair but its Subaru paint so who knows.

I WILL get back to this thread ASAP but very busy making the best usage of the holiday period to carry out many needed updates to KDS workshop, early spring clean (cant do it in spring as we go bonkers with work load) all of which means i am not in the office through the festive period , i am either in the workshop or at home resting :)
I have limted amount of time before the bookings roll in again and must get all the planned updates completed.

Had missed calls and a voice message through christmas considering i worked up till christmas eve , and came into work on boxing day (midday) to drop off a car and the calls and voice message were in that time frame :doublesho.

Also had emails in for work and training enquires on the 25th and 26th :D
