Wha...? They made the newer style body in 03?

He claims he bought it in december of 2003. Looked much newer to me but what can I say except what he told me. This car will be a by monthly client. I think.

Great work!!!

I have a similar color BMW, OCW, is that the spray wax? How do you like it? Does it last long? Did it look good on the metallic grey?

Thanks,
Steve

Take a look now..... I resent it

How did SSR1 work with the blue pad? I was under the impression that the blue pad doesn't have much bite, if any. Were the swirls really fine?

Excellent-the car looks wet!

BTW, maybe you should lay off the speed when taking interior shots?

RickRack · 03-17-06, 05:28

Looks nice. I love the color.

Was this for a dealership or a private owner.

What happened to the rear license plate?

Thanks everyone!

SHICKS - Optimum Car Wax. I like it alot. To me, it looks good on every color that I've used it on. According to the company, it can last upto 6 months.

mrecktid - I couldn't see any swirls. I used ssr1 to polish/clean the paint with the PC.
PS: On our 2000 toyota minivan, ssr2 and the blue propel pad removes most swirls. That is an ideal paint for detailers for sure.

Scottwax - Thanks Scott - It took like a second to take the picture and I guess I moved both times.

Here is another picture with the flash on. I know the about the break pedal

RickRack - Thanks! The place is called Martin Motorsports. BMW/Volvo shop. He refers me to all his clients. Private owner. (bmw). The owner of MM lets me detail there for free. I am very lucky to know Gary Martin.

I always take off the rear plate when I work on a car the first time. I polish/wax the area the same as the rest of the car. It was getting dark and my camera is defective I believe so I wanted to take a few pictures before it wasnt too late.

Sounds like a great deal you have going with the dealership. When I had my old shop, I did all the work for the local Porsche/Audi dealership and the local BMW dealership as well. It's nice because they usually don't mind paying a little extra as long as you do good work. That's great he lets you use the shop too! Keep up the great work!
