BMW 320I

When i opened the bonnet of this car, the amount of dried leaves and twigs collected was shocking.



This new black Bimmer was parked in the open carpark like the rest of the other cars under the shelter of the trees canopy. Under our region weather conditions, it's paint work was quickly damage in just about a week duration. The fallen leaves and other goodies during the raining days was left to bake on the paint work under the hot sun and the cycle continues.



Stain marks left on the car boot area...

A closer view of the stain marks (above pic), nothing abnormal at all. Seemed superficial to the naked eyes.

Similar stain marks found at the bonnet/ hood area...

this is the roof line (above pic) area.... basically the entire car had turned ugly because of these "stains".



Owner's effort to remove the "ugly stains" on the car only left more scratched marks. Bimmers are notorious for their tough paint work, i think it should not be that bad... but the ugly stains marks were not able to be shifted even after i tried to hand waxed it. They have etched deep into the surface of the paint work in just about a week duration. Don't underestimated the power of nature. It took me more than half a day to correct and restore the paint work.

This is the restored rear part of the Bimmer, most etched marked were rectified.





The soggy dried leaves and twigs and other rubbish were cleared out from the "holding area" at both sides of the engine bay.



Finally, i would said that 90% of the "ugly stains" were rectified. The remaining 10% were too bad to be safely restore.





Don't fall victim to this issue, avoid the trees especially if you drive a black car. Thanks for viewing.
