The WORST paint I’ve ever seen!

[@philwindows6932]

Absolutely brilliant content, keep it up and don't lose the character you have. As for the BMW its an absolutle beautiful collour. Definite sale. Looking forwards to the profit on the KA and how many 5 press ups per £100 pure profit you must do, on camera I hope !

[@THELOGBOOKUK]

Great call! KA has now sold so we are on to the next! Really appreciate the comment thank you

[@samwalker2367]

Would you consider doing a video showing the whole process from purchase to sale, including prep, photos, and how uploading to auto trader works?

[@THELOGBOOKUK]

Hey up Sam, certainly would. We have started a £3,000-£10,000 car challenge. There's a lot of information on there which we will be building on.

[@Mr711m]

Here from Chops as well. A video talking with your paint guy about polishing it up would be A1. Looking forward to seeing the result.

Said it before in another comment but you’re a really natural presenter. I’ve watched every video since I originally came here from Shifting Metal. I could easily see your channel growing a lot more and I hope it does for you and brings another decent revenue stream. Look forward to seeing more content. Would love to see some videos on the detailing work. To be fair, if you made a penny bar and a fish tank install into compelling viewing, I reckon you can do anything. Oh and I love that X5 colour personally. Always wanted myself one of those.

cant wait to see how this one polishes up and what the lads can do with it. l did see it on chops and thought it was a crying shame that anybody could sell a car in such a mess. 😒😒. when chops mentioned the EGR recall l thought what a surprise. l had three EGR recalls on my 530D in four and a half years of ownership

[@THELOGBOOKUK]

EGR appears to be a serviceable item on a BMW nowadays!! Hopefully this is going to be a stunner when we are done... we begin next week!

[@ralphyimages]

As a one who lives in the Devon countryside I've seen far worse cases of 'hedge-rash'' on local cars - including my own 😳 But as a diy detailer I've found I can get good results on my twice-a-year 'de-rashing', albeit with plenty of time spent.

[@THELOGBOOKUK]

Thank you Keith, I really appreciate that. You and me both.. will do a detailed one of its progress.

[@WokeSteve]

Won't you polish the clear coat off?

[@THELOGBOOKUK]

Essentially yes, and that is the tricky bit! Polishing a paint correction is a proper art form and to be done slowly, and gently. I suspect this will be getting ceramic coated at the same time to lock the benefits back in.

[@bluefish2303]

Can't wait to see the cleaner and shinier outcome on this car 👍 Don't dislike the colour but it's not me. BTW red and blue on certain marques are the only colours to have... (#JustSaying)

[@THELOGBOOKUK]

Me and you both!! Will be glorious! Also agree on that, certain cars for certain colours!

[@leedstown]

I saw the x5 on chops channel it must be a individual colour order? Was expecting the seats to be a bit more exciting a secondary stitching colour on the seats etc

[@THELOGBOOKUK]

Certainly is individual colour and I know what you mean about the seats, that would have been nice to match the paint. Either way I think black works well with it
