Here's the before pictures. the car wasn't too dirty since it had been recently washed.



















So i decided to wash with Citrus Wash N Gloss to remove any previous wax the car may have had. And i sprayed on P21s Gel and let it dwell for about 30 minutes. unfortunately the car had some kind of factory-installed sealant (teph-seal) that i was going to have to remove. and after the wash i went with my special yellow clay and CG Synthetic QD for lube to remove all the contaminants. for the car being so new, i was surprised that it was pretty contaminated!

Before/after shots of each wheel. for this i used the Mother's Powerball and Mother's Billet polish, and followed that up with 1Z chrome Polish. then topped that all off with 2 layers of Swissvax Autobahn.












Finished!!!

Wow, absolutely stunning. The only thing that could make this better is if it were an M5 or M6

[Moutee]

Those outdoor pictures are awesome. That paint looks wet!

[ScheerSpeed]

thanks guys!

nice work!!!! I love the new M3'S

That looks awesome. Basically everything he did makes an already sick car look even better (except for that one red sticker on the left side of the logo on the back, and also the tacky 360 forged stickers ).

And you're right about the orange peel - such a pity BMW ships all their cars from the factory like that these days! You'd think they could at least do a little extra AT LEAST for the M's.

I have a question though, and I went back and looked a few times... are those two totally different color wheels on either side of the car? One side looks flat black while the other looks like the proper bright silver color (I meant "proper" as in I think that is the color those wheels come with, or maybe they came flat black, I am no expert on these wheels ). Is he getting them painted a side at a time?

[ScheerSpeed]

no, the owner of the car works with 360 forged, and he is trying to decide which wheels he likes better

Great work and what a gorgeous car!

I'm suprised at the amount of scuffs on it as new as it is.
And suprised to see that much orange peel on a car of that price class.
But none of that has to do with you. =)

looks great! was curious... does your Flex not see any details anymore?

[PaPaHoFF]

Nice work. so you get a free set of rims for that detail lol?
