This is a customer's beater that she is giving to her 16 year old. This car was beat too Cr@p!! Because she was givng t to her kid, she only wanted to, "Clean it up, not to much $!" So, a quick three hour, "Clean up".

Started with this plain old dirty and mistreated 3 Series Beemer

First is to get the wheels cleaned up. P21S with Swissvax brush

Next, foam w/ Adams Car Wash and dwell for five minutes

after a rinse and two bucket wash, Meg Medium clay

And, clay after once around the car

a shot of the hood as I received the car

after one pass of 105 on yellow Meg yellow wool and 205 on Meg Solo polish pad

Right 1/4 before any work

50/50 after one pass of 105 on yellow Meg wool

total 1/4 after 105 pass

did a quick engine clean up b4

and, after a quick once over

Of course, it was raining when I started the LSP - Meg 2.0 Poly Sealant. So, I didn't pull it out for a sunlight shot.

Thanks for looking!!

So, now that I've posted a few B&A's, anyone have a suggestion as to how I can post larger pics??

who are you using as you picture hosting?

Got Wax · 06-10-09, 08:02

I've tried Flicker and Photobucket. Both show up 160x120
Urggg

looks great by the way

i would check your camera settings to see if the picture taking is on a smaller photo if this is not the case when using photobucket edit the photo and save it on a larger file .

its most likely your camera setting. most cameras can save photos in different resolutions. just check around your camera and see what ya got. looks great too. The small pictures don't even do it justice.

did you use one clay bar for the whole car? i

Great work in 3 hours

I used half the bar. This thing was a mess. And, it's not even close to perfect. But, I had only a few hours to drag a buffer around the car.

Yeah--that same job easily takes me 5. 4 if I'm KILLING myself.

BTW--must be nice to be 16 and get that thrown to you as a "beater". I really lost the genetic lottery.
