So a friend of mine has just bought himself a 1996 BMW 316i. The paintwork is in good (ish) condition considering the age, but could do with some TLC to bring it back to life with a dazzle.

Recommendations of products for this scenario?

Im trying to sort some pics atm.............

It's Basically a patch repair and machine polished out to make sure it all blends in
