    Detailed: 1995 BMW M3

    This is my car. It had been purchased from a one owner who did a pretty job keeping up with it. This was until I started to notice all the little imperfections it had, especially in the sun.

    This was my first detail and a lot of learning came from it. I think it came out ok.

    Pinnacle’s Ultra Poly Clay
    Pinnacle’s Clay Lubricant


    Menzerna Super Intensive Polish

    Leatherique Revunajator Oil and Pristine Clean
    Aerospace 303

    Thanks!

    Seriously, it was pretty embarrassing to drive during the day time haha.

    Thank you!

    I need help pretty much. I love this car and I hope it loves me after all the things I have done to it to make it look and run better. But yeah I get a good laugh looking at that picture.

    Thanks dude. I love the ricer rings ergh I mean my angel eyes :)

    Leatherique is the best I love it and I've got two bottles of 32oz oil and cleaner coming.

    I redyed my seats with their dying kit.

    Natty's only gave that glow. The SIP and 106ff is what really improved the condition of the paint. Thank goodness for those two products.

    now thats what im talkin bout ...good work!

    if those sidemarkers are as easy to remove as the new ones...then, it sure does make polishin easy..just slide n pop!

    great shots on the reflections..where are those photos taken (state) - im so sad cuz rite now cali has been cloudy =/ ah well a few more weeks n well be back to normal

    good job!

    Petrucci_M3 Jedi Nuba

    Thanks man, yeah it took about 5 days to redo those seats. Its funny because the dying process only took about 15 minutes per seats. I love these headlights, not too many people like angel eyes on E36 but I think they are classy because BMW started the whole angel eyes so its all good.

    Thanks dude. I use to have a 97 318i with the newer sidemarkers and those were a pain to take out. I was always afraid I was going to break them, these ones are so nice and easy to take off.

    I'm out here in Arizona. Its normal hot as hell but its nice during these time of year and there usually isn't one cloud in the sky which always ruins the reflections shots. Just sun and more sun ergh.

    California = best state in the US :headbang:
