Got the 535i used from the dealer, alot of holograms and moderate swirls. Car was off a lease so it wasn't taken care of. Thought about adding Ironx but I don't want to deal with it. (Black Sapphire Metallic) Any suggestions?

Nice job dude! I'm getting up the nerve to do my 550i. I have Megs 105+205 as well but I think that the 205 will be good enough because I have really light swirls... The blacklight and V38 will finish it off... probably undertake this on friday...
