Hey guys! Welcome back to the Detail Garage!
Today i'm going to show you how to polish carbon fiber on this badass BMW M6 twin-supercharged.
It's fast as hell!
I want to make it look as good as it runs, so we are going to get started right now on how to polish this roof.
So after reviewing the surface, I can see that there are some stains, etching, and some scratches in this carbon fiber.
I already clayed the surface so it's ready to be polished.
I'm just going to grab my Torq X, a white quantum pad, and V38.
Which is a winning combination for sensitive surfaces such as carbon fiber.
So before I start polishing, I'm gonna go ahead and tape off this black weather stripping right here.
Just so I don't harm it or stain it while i'm polishing the roof.
Also you may notice there is this black glossy trim piece right here; I have to tape that off because as i'm polishing the roof,
i'm actually going to be polishing this and brightening that making it look better too.
Unlike most cars when you see a black, textured surface right here, where you need to tape it off,
this one doesn't have that.
So we already finished taping off this weather stripping up here.
That way it doesn't get damaged or stained while polishing the roof.
I'm going to grab my Torq X.
Using a white Quantum pad and also our V38
I'm going to apply 4 dime sized drops on it.
And a couple of spritz of our Polishing Pad Conditoner.
Then i'm going to spread it out over the surface that i'll be working on.
And then with the machine still on the vehicle, I'm going to turn it on to speed setting 1.
And evenly spread it out over the surface.
And then i'll bump it up to speed setting 6 to do the actual polishing.
So here i'm using an up down, side to side motion.
While giving a 50/50 overlay coverage to ensure that I have no streaks or tiger strips or holograms.
Also using light pressure, not too much, just enough to let the pad break down the compound.
Once your compound goes clear, your compound is fully broken down.
Now using a clean microfiber towel, i'm gonna go ahead and buff off any residue polish.
So I can see the results.
So i'm already getting a lot of good shine; a lot of good results from this side that I have already done.
I'm gonna finish the rest of the roof and then we can see the finished product.
So now I finished polishing the carbon fiber on this BMW.
The roof is looking really good. I got most of the stains and etching out.
So now the roof has a good high gloss shine.
Most of the imperfections have been removed.
