Takumi587 Detailed: M3 Carbon Black

I am still writing up my process while posting these haha.

Ok first step was to start on the wheels.
Process:
1. I sprayed the wheels down with water first
2. Sprayed on P21S Wheel Cleaner(let it sit for a good 5 minutes)
3. Then used a sponge to scrub all the areas
4. For the inner wheel I has a detailing soft brush that could reach in and scrub necessary areas
5. Then sprayed off the brake dust with that Karcher








FINISH wheels:






After Wash(I already clay barred):



After the wheels:
1. I washed down the whole car
2. Then Foam gunned(Poorboys super slick and suds) and then used MF mitt to scrub the whole car
3. Sprayed Adams All Purpose on inner wells too and scrubbed that with a brush

Polished with the FLEX using 106FA
Process:
1. Used a Orange Lake Country Pad w/106 FA(dial 2-6-2)
2. Used a Polishing MF towel to wipe off

And did the final touches in garage(pics are bad quality when sun sets)
Process:
1. Used Pre wax cleaner
2. Then applied Swissvax Onyx
3. Then wiped off with a cold water spray and mf towel

Then Viola!

 

Absolutely gorgeous work my friend, beautiful vehicle and great outcome. Love the BBS wheels, absolutely pure GROT!

 

Very very nice...:woot:

 

Man the BMW is looking great. Love your work with the Flex. What was your LSP? Would love to hear what other products you used as well. I have to agree with P1et that those BBS wheels are wicked!

 

wow greta job, esp on the rims,, those looked dirty

thecar turned out great

 

Nice job:chest:

What products?

 

Very nice :applause: and I agree the rims look great :thumb: Rims really make the vehicle stand out as I'm sure you noticed.

The vehicle has a nice reflection to it and the correction pictures look good, just with 106FA wow that's good.

I look forward on reading what process/products you used.

Thank you for shaing.

 

I used Menzerna, Poorboys, Swissvax, and P21S products

The car was not as heavily swirled as I thought so 106FA pretty much did the trick. It just took much longer with the FLEX as opposed to using the rotary.

 

Ahhh, you added the products in your post.... thanks


I should have known it was p21s wheels gel... I AM getting some of that when the season starts up!!

Thanks!

 

I agree! Outstanding!

 

Thanks for sharing the process Takumi :thumb: and just curious how long did the polishing take?
Just wondering :thumb:

 

Polishing took me about 3-6 hours going all over the whole car.

 

:applause:

 

How do you like that MF towel?

 

love the detail love the BBS wheels

 

Dude those MF towels worked amazing! I was able to use the waffle weave on 2 cars(the other was my friends integra he brought over). The Polishing towel is what I loved the most though! Thx for providing me with samples of them. :mounty:

 

3-6 hours is very impressive
What pad did you use?
