2000 Red BMW 3 Series Complete Detail
Did this 2000 BMW 3 series last weekend and I haven’t had a chance to post pics until now. The customer/owner is putting it up for sale and has never had it buffed. The hood/roof/trunk was so dead & faded that I thought it was single stage until I buffed it! I worked on this one all weekend (the wife was pissed ). The leather throughout the interior was sun faded (green) and the owner just wanted it cleaned. He was going to get it dyed immediately after and didn’t want anything interfering with the process.
Here’s what I did:


PREP:
Auto Magic(AM) Wash & Wax via ShMitt
AM Special Cleaner all jambs and engine
Power washed complete exterior of vehicle
AM Magnificent wheels, tires and wheel wells

EXTERIOR:
AM blue Clay Magic
Goof Off removal of tar
AM BC-1 via LC white wool cutting pad (hood/roof/trunk)
AM GS-1 via EDGE yellow medium cutting foam pad (everything)
AM BC-2 via EDGE blue finishing foam pad (everything)
AM Paint Sealant via PC + red CCS super final finishing foam pad
AM Magic Dressing – Tires + Wheel wells
AM Bumper Magic on trim

INTERIOR:
AM Special Cleaner scrubbed with tooth brush
AM E-Z Clean HD Shampoo by hand
AM Clear Difference window cleaner

ENGINE:
(degreased and didn’t dress it)

BEFORES:

















BUFFING PREP:





DURING:
step #1 =







step #2 =





step #3 =





AFTERS:






















The faded (but clean) leather:

Thumbs up Re: 2000 Red BMW 3 Series Complete Detail
Impeccable detail.

The owner doesn't deserve a drivers license! What a pig.
