Chaps, Been waiting for a while to get my hands on this one. Fantastic car, probably one of my favorite BMWs. The plan was to give it a good scrubbing on the inside, along with tackle some of swirls in paint. Some spots had some very deep random scratches, it seemed that the horizontals suffered more than the verticals. I'll let the pictures do the talking though. Polishes used were Menzerna SIP, 203S and Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional. Pads were Uber Blue, Green and LC Orange. As LSP, two layers of Power Lock were applied, and topped with Swissvax Insignis. Wheel got Sonax and Meg's Wheel Brightner, tires got Showroom FX White Pearl. Pretty much the entire interior was done with 1Z Cockpit Premium, leather was cleaned with Leatherique and conditioned with Duragloss. Off we go... Upon arrival Some Sonax on the wheels And and after some scrubbing and ruining my clothing My 50/50s didn't work out, so this will have to do Boot corrected First round of P203S, had to go over it again with SIP End of day one, tucked away Second day, my favorite combo, Cleaner Fluid Pro on an Uber Blue Glossy We all need good tunes to keep going Lights were letting the front end down, gave them a quick polish. This is before.
great detail i love imola red, and i still love the shape of the E46 everything inside feels so solid and you get that over-engineered feeling - quality has taken a turn for the worse on the E9X imo..... and lets not mention the horrendous peel
Always make sure the customer has a fresh beverage for the way home! Back inside, ready for delivery Last four just for fun...
That came out stunning! such a great car. The paint looks so bold now instead of being so tired looking. Great job!
Looking great, Insignis really does look good on a red car haha....hmm is your pot empty or just decanted into another? lol. How do you like SV CF Pro, hear it is like/similar to Scholl S30+ which I have a bottle of. The 330 are great looking cars and with your touch looks impressive! Love me some izzy! (side note any eta on v2?)
My pot of Insignis v1 is still 95% full! I just noticed how it indeed looks "black" on the inside. Love CF Pro, a lot like 85RD frankly.
yeh i have the SV medium and light always thought the medium was either 106FF or 85RD love that door jam pic.....makes me want to go and detail mine now
SV CFs are similar to Scholl Polishes, many SV items are similar to Scholl items.... Piet, you should try out S30+ and S40, I find them better then the Menzerna counterpart, lot deeper/wetter finish they tend to leave also less working time.
Looks great P1et. As always, nice photos as well. Too bad not many people will know what that plate means, haha
Awesome work, that car came out amazing. Such a great color when it's detailed to that length. -Kody-
