Post your daily ZHP/BMW/MINI pics!

The 1,200 for a full correction sounds about right if the paint has never been corrected before and depending on what level of perfection you're willing to accept in the finished product. If you ask the person who quoted you 1,200 if that's a 1 step or several step process, that could give you more info. If it's just a 1 step, then it's a bit steep considering the paint won't be over, say, 85% corrected. I'm pulling that number out of nowhere as a way to say there is no one step correction that will get your paint to above 95% corrected.

Sounds about right!! It depends on how many steps are needed to correct. Some just need one step, some two, some three!

Once it's done and you know how to clean the car properly, you should last a long time! If you're getting professional paint correction just add ceramic on top to make cleaning easy!

I just use a towel and running water. I use soap on heavily caked on dirt which hardly ever happens.

I've never done any work to my paint in the 7 years of ownership. It's just now that I'm learning about paint and like detailer stuff. You may not see it but it has swirls for days..

Hey can I ask who you got the quote from? I'm looking into paint correction myself. Would your friend be interested in making a little extra cash?

I was quoted from Formula Auto Care in Queens. My friend lives in the BX his Instagram name is life_on_display_ . He's cool you can DM him if anything. Say your Camis friend from the forum or something.

Honestly for that age with no care, 3 step correction is what I'd expect, with maybe a 4th in localized areas. A cutting compound, and 2 steps of polish with decreasing abrasiveness. BMW paint isn't very soft, and getting paint defects out is definitely more work than on other cars.

Awesome dude thanks. I messaged that guy zef who did your interior. Might be starting on it over the winter. I feel like I'm getting all my info from you lol. I work at mount Sinai. Would have seen your car on park Ave up in the high 80s-low 90s?

My car is always uptown. I'm never really below like 140st. You can always confirm it's my car because of that ZHP LIFE plate.

And that's great about Zef he's a real cool guy. You'd be surprise how cheap and good you can get stuff done for at a fraction of the price just networking on Instagram. I have an official shop I go to and keep everything done to my car documented.

But this year I've barley gone to the shop because I bought my own tools and DIY videos everywhere. On top of that I've actually been going to a couple of car meets and meeting and talking to people in the community. Actually just met a guy with a turbo powered white zhp [emoji102]. Gotta put him on to the forums. Lol if I want anything done or help I just ask around.

It may have already been asked, but is there a link to buy this set for shipping to the US? Looks to be a great set [emoji106]
