Busy weekend on the E9. I ordered a pneumatic polisher from CHY-NAH with 1,2, and 3 inch backing plates. I tried it out Saturday afternoon on some tight sections. It is garbage but it got the job done.

I also gave the underside of the hood a quick compound and polish.

Monday I woke up early intending to knock out some projects. I started by cleaning and dyeing the last leather piece on the e9.

After that I wet sanded and polished the trunk on the e9.

I went ahead and polished it out since it was looking good and I wanted to see what the finished product would look like.

There are still some light straight line scratches from sanding likely. I may go back and hit the whole car with a more aggressive compound but Im not sure. I will likely pull it out into the sun when I am done and look it over. The trunk is looking killer though.
