BMW M3 Melbourne Red New Car Prep

[autoconcierge]

Just completed today 10-1-2011, this was a Euro delivery and the client said the experience was something he and his family enjoyed thoroughly.



Much less defects as opposed to your local new car delivery, there was some slight issues with the top surfaces of the car with some bird drop etch and tree sap welts.



Client dropped the car off and I ran him home, then returned to the shop to do a wash/decon. Car was brought into the shop and work began.

Did not look to thrilled with the stubborn grease on the drivers window..........but I prevailed and removed the offending substance.

Late afternoon delivery so no sun pics, so LED & Infratech pics to suffice.

Looks great as usual, Bob! I`ve got two new-car prep jobs lined up this next week as well, I just hope they go as easily as this one did (considering both are GM cars that were dealer prepped).



You always get the cool toys to play with :D

[Brad B]

Awesome looking! Cool color!

[mikenap]

Good to know Ze Germans can prep a car better than most US dealers. Gorgeous combo, similar to mine so of course I`m biased! And sooooo wet and glossy at the end!

[Pats300zx]

Stunning as always Bob. I love that color !!!!
