Awesome!



What products did you use?

And I thought there weren`t many M cars on the boards...

Nice job on the estoril. It`s good to see some guys representing the e36. I should have pics of my cosmos black `95 pretty soon.

It`s AMP99! Haven`t seen you in a while. Figures you`d chime in regarding the Bimmer! ;)



Nice job FC :xyxthumbs What process did you use? I like the racing pic in the gallery.

Just to add to the collection of M cars. I, unfortunately had to take the pictures in the garage because it is pouring rain here today....and I have to take the car out in it in an hour:(

While we are on the subject of Bimmers, here is a new pic of my jet black 7 after a fresh coat of

Souveran on top of EX.

thnx fopr the :up guys



it`s nice to get all u bimmers to surface here



a little back ground info on the car: it`s a 98 M3 with just over 120,000km that serves as daily commuter, heavy duty pick-up, , winter beater and track machine :D well, i had been waiting so long for a perfect weekend and i got one last sunday. here`s a quick list of what i did and what i used...



2 wash... (it was real dirty)

clay w/ `autopia` clay

1 more wash to make sure everything`s cleaned



`3m finesse-it 2` with PC



`einszett paint polish (green container)` w/ both PC and hand application - i wanted to try both methods since i got the polish recently



`p21s paint lotion and polish` w/ hand appliation - i didn`t use this on the whole car but selected areas just to see if it does anything at all since the gloss and shine from the `einszett polish` alone was already very nice.



`klasse sealant` 1 application - simple and straight forward.



`pinnacle souveran wax`, 3 coats - pic was taken after only 1 coat. the additional coats, applied the same night and the next morning layered up nicely on top of klasse sealant and gave the final finish a real deep and saturated(?) look.



`a303` on many of the plastic and rubber trims



`eagle1 tire spray` on the 4 rubbers



the headlights were polished out with `meguairs`s 2 step plastic clean+polish system` about 1 week prior to that





i am pretty satisfied with all the products i used, except that 3m fi-2 required a lot more work to polish out the swirls. also, prob because i had been workign 5-6 hrs on my car so i couldn`t notice any enhancement with the last application of p21 polish.

:up :up for the einszett paitn polish though.
