This is a journey - of E39 restoration journey
was the successor of the BMW E34 in 1995, and itself was replaced by the E60 platform in 2003
was introduced in 95, the complete vehicle redesign draws heavily from the E38 7 Series in body construction and electronic technology. The mid-level BMW saloon showed evolutionary styling changes rather than a dramatic redesign
The aerodynamically designed body & this is my favourite colour (Silverado - almost paint defect invisible colour, so cool - that anyone above 45 find hard to find swirls under a noon day sun & camera proof colour (shooting imperfection - is almost impossible)
Mr H .... told me I dont seems to get my car gloss - shinning ......Hmmmm...what do u say from the 1st 2 pics....indeed it is a challenge to make silver shines

looking at the close up & detail
stone chips & heavily scratched bumper
pigment of imperfect paint covered beneath the clear
scratches on the engine hood
little tiger paws
more scratches on the side arch next to the engine hood- possibly (done during - repairs works)
more - pigment found beneath the clear coat paint
almost invisible scratches ( follow thru my fingers pointing)
over all the there was so much swirls on the paint (Almost impossible to pick up by Compact Camera) - as this ride was picked up at one of the 2nd hand Car dealers - probably the cleaner - spray / splash & wipe dry cleaning everyday - inflicted much much R.I.D.S randon isolate deep scratches)....I wish u were there (Mr H will elaborate more)
wheels before
contaminations picked up by clay
rear looking
beneath the back hood (door jam area) - stains
more stains
more stains at the emblem
more
bumper side trims - stains
door handle stains
how did I remove them ( lets divert your attention) after a good good bath (ONR ) I clayed & rewash with Power clean to remove all stains - while I am cleaning, Mr H brought out his Power steering to show Mr M . I said Power clean - HUH??????????

conclusion
A new found talented detailer Mr H (the owner himself) , as his passion pushes him to try out what i recommended & his desire succeed - Car detailing is about yr Passion & carried out by your heart - thanks to the space age invention to Doc G - so strong enable to degrease & safe for interior like leather & most of all clear coat paint safe
the following magical moment - is brought to you possibly by OPC & Soft bristle detailing brush
mowing over to engine detailing
removing the rubber seals prior deeper cleaning

now after 4 hours of meticulously cleaning, moving on to paint correctional work
my favourite colour paint
but with proper & correct lighting
rids pics (almost impossible to capture by my Compact camera)
look carefully
3 " wool pad for har to reach area with 3" polishing & cutting pad
Mission - to transformed this car in next few hours
Menu & tools for the job
ONR with 3 microfibers wash
ONR as lube to clay
OPT Power clean - 1:5 water for paint cleanning, Engine & all the hards stains - shown (removed patiencely after 2 hours)
Paint correction Multi passes with m105 & LC double sided wool ( following with each interval passes with ONR as lube - as the products is still on the pads & refining passes again) I find this work prefectly for tropical country
Refining with LC cutting pad (interval or 2nd passes with ONR as lube )
Polsihing with Megs W 8027 (interval or 2nd passes with ONR as lube )
15 minutes protection - make only possible with OPTIMUM Opti seal & Optimum car wax
Engine & plastic & tire - Optimum Leather protectant

a 50/50% leather protectant application
its a UV coating & not a dressing - for dressing offer no heat & uVs protection
the one & only Leather, vinyl, plastic & trims protectant
thanks to Doc G - unlike the others (25 product range for a single car , optimum only have 5 - imagine the number of other product save) unnecessarily

even the gentleman at the drink stall asked me - are you selling this ride - or is it just painted
nope it is a journey of restorations
thanks for your time & cheers again UDM
