Some help -- Newbie

[fitchesbass]

Hello everyone,



I am new here but have read on this forum from time to time in the past. I have a 1996 BMW M3 with metallic estoril blue paint and tan leather interior. I am a giant car enthusiast and take care of my car mechanically and cosmetically the best I can. I recently saw a car like mine the other day and it was so clean it made mine look old and beat - I was extremely jealous. Hopefully you guys can help me on my way to a super clean car.



Here are some pictures of my car. It is a bright blue during the day but at night it turns to almost a different color (like a dark purplish blue).

Here are a few questions I have:

- I want to get a power buffer but which one should I get?

- What accessories are needed for a power buffer?

- I showed you pictures of my car, what kind of process should I use to get the paint super WET looking?

- What process should I go through in order to get my car shiny and wet looking?

- Any recommended products for this color paint?



Thanks for all your help! I look forward to learning a lot from all of you.

Welcome to Autopia :xyxthumbs



I would download the (free) Autopia book as this should answer most of your questions.



The real shine comes from the prep of the paint - concentrate on this and you will not regret it.
