Most detailing websites love using black paintjobs for an impressive look. But I prefer to use silver, white, grey and other "tough" colours. The pic below is merely a test panel, and we'll be bringing it further next week by more extensive surface prep before going into multiple rounds of compounding. <img src="http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy120/JKLow123/BMW%20Alpina%205%20series%20E28%20restoration/IMG_9197_zps0ff9b7ed.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Iphone might not be a photographer's wet dream, but in the pic below, it's evident that reflections are starting to be highly accurate. It looks kinda hazy because its a grey paintwork that has not been washed yet. Kindly note the green leaves and iron slats on the ground. It was an impromptu shot without bothering to park the vehicle properly. Nevertheless, on a medium-grey vehicle, I was gratified that reflections were "healthy" looking at this early stage and will get much better next week as we proceed further with more surface prep....all the way to 5000grit.   <img src="http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy120/JKLow123/BMW%20Alpina%205%20series%20E28%20restoration/IMG_9201_zps12117bb7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
