Detailed BMW Z3 3.0l

[Rudamous]

Here is pics of my mom`s BMW Z3 3.0l. It has been a while since I detailed it but I washed it today and the sun was out so I decided to grab some pics. This was a while ago so here was the process. It was BPC(before porter cable :) )



NXT Wash

Megs #9 by hand

Megs #7 by hand

Megs #26 by hand

Tires Dressed today by NXT Insane Tire Shine

Megs Hot Rims on Wheels

B2B on the trim

Stoner IG On the inside and outside Glass

Megs Plastic Polish on back window

Megs Plastic Cleaner on back window

Megs Gold Class Quick Interior on inside

Megs Gold Class Leather Protectant Interior seats

Oxy Clean wash floors



The Quick Interior and Insane Tire Shine are both newly released by Meguairs so I wanted to test them out. The pictures of the tires were taken shortly after dressing so they probably will fade a little but they sure are shining insanely! I put it on then and didn`t wipe any off just try to see what kinda finishes I can get out of it but I guess I should have wiped some off to get more of a matte finish but I thought it would dry some I put it on then though.

The Quick Interior worked well but you have to make sure you buff it off very good or else it dries and cakes really weird. Basically just go over it good with a clean MF for good measure.

You got any full side shots of the car? Looks extremely nice!

Looks terrific. Try Pinnacle Signature on it. :)

It is actually almost time to do it again. I haven`t waxed in almost 3 months at least I think. I don`t have the 40 dollars right now for the pinacle signature because I`m about to buy a Nismo Cold Air Intake for my Spec-V. I will try it next time maybe when expenses allow. I will probably AIO+SG. It needs claying BAD though I never clayed it before I waxed. It feels ROUGH. It is garaged but I bet it has never been clayed.

is the NXT tire dressing a gel or in an aerosol can or in a trigger bottle ??



just curious ;)

[Rudamous]

screw the wax.. i rather have the nismo intake :up ;) :up on another note, how do you like cleaning those wheels? my dad has them on his car, and they are a damn pain in the @$$. sealing them is even worst

Takes about 10 min a wheel. Like most bimmers those wheels cake up with brake dust fast but it is always worth it when you see them cleaned.
