Very nice! Those interior pics are amazing. Could you help a newb out? What did you do on the carpets? What is your process? Thanks in advance!
Thanks, J Bell. This was a long detail, took like a week to complete. Try it out. But be carefull if you are detailing german cars, you don't want to flood the engine. Sensors are very sensitive. Thank you, Carlos. I tried to take a lot of pics, I enjoy it, and so do many of us. Thanks. I vacuum first, then spray on APC+ 10:1, let is sit for a minute agitate with a brush (OXO), and then I revacuumed. I used my Rainbow for this. Be sure to let the carpet dry on its own later on. thank you. And when you do, please post some pics. thank you. Hard work pays off. thank you, Pirex. Glad you enjoyed it. thank you. It took a week to complete, black sure takes a lot of time.
DUDE!!! Great job!! What little duster is that, that you used in the pictures, the white one?? I like how that looks, nice and safe. The tires on that car are killer! I bet it handles great, super traction and excellent wet weather driving! Your BF combo looks killer on the car, would love to see some different day pics of it!
Thanks. That duster - Wool Duster - Polished Bliss Car Care and Detailing Products I got from Polishedbliss of UK, as well as my foam lance. Those tires are the best! Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, superb handling on dry and wet surfaces. I have the same type of tires on my Acura as well. you are welcome!
Great job on the Bimmer!! Even in the low light that you shot the afters, it just glows...well done indeed. Ever considered jumping on the rotary bandwagon? I'll throw down the gauntlet for ya!oke:
