Funny thing about that white coating- it comes off in sheets with a pressure washer.
My best recollection is of the underside of the car being prepped before new coating being applied.
Keep in mind I work on 10 cars a month and that car was 1 1/2 years ago.
Take a look at the photo album for some clues maybe?
Have you decided to paint your car before trying to sell it again?
How much is the quote from the shop in Arizona to finish the job as a Turn-key effort?
Again- good luck to you.

Maybe a pressure washer works on that white coating on an American CS it did not work for me on Euro cars 3.0CSI, (2) 635CSI. Its very thick 1/8” inch for the heavy weather in Europe snow and ice plus salted roads. I had a high-pressure 250-degree temperature steam-cleaner when I was restoring the CSI. The kind they use for taking the painted lines off roads here in California it sound like a Jet Plane taking off when you fire it up, it did nothing on CSI for removing that white coating. Only a propane torch and scraper.
That’s the one thing about doing 10 cars a month your on the clock and time cost money, when I was doing the CSI I had all the time I wanted.
About painting the car?
I have all the paint needed and color I was going to paint it, bought it in AZ (not CA. paint) when I when to the world Jet Ski finals last time. The problem is if I sell it the new owner may want to paint it a different color. It is setup for finish paint now, just no finish paint for now.
How much is the quote from the shop in Arizona to finish the job as a Turn-key effort?
It is all up to how much the new owner wants to do.
Basically, show car top-of-the-line “Barrett Jackson” paint job even an interior color change using good paint “not California water base paint” and all molding polished, bumpers redone, glass, dash put back in $7,000. Interior, if leather seats (stock was only vinyl ) about $1,000-1,200. Like I said its all up to the customer and on how they want to do it..

Try “Heavy Duty Bilsteins shocks” great on a dip not to bottom-out and they make your BMW turn tight corners like a UFO.
