Envious Detailing: bmw 335 revived!

[Envious Eric]

BMW 335 for a gentleman from San Francisco!



Yep, that’s right, this car was brought down from San Fransisco for me to perform my work on it. That’s a pretty cool feeling to know someone is waiting to have their car detailed until they are in my area from 8 hours away! We are now going to be on a “hey I am in the area, can you get my car done in the next couple of days� maintenance program in order to keep this car in the condition it is in now!



Process:

Washed with chemical guys wash and clear

Clayed with Detailed Image fine clay and ONR lube

Sonax Full effect on the wheels with ez detail brush

Taped with Meguiars masking tape

Compounded with M105 and orange pad via Griots DA

Polished with Menzerna 203 and white pad via Griots DA

Paint cleaned and sealed with Chemical guys Blacklight and black pad via Griots DA

Interior vacuumed and wiped down

Meguiars last touch QD at the very end prior to pick up to help with the dust falling on the car, but it didn’t help much, it was kind of windy out.

Optimum metal polish on the exhaust tips

Meguiars glass cleaner



Overall, HUGE improvement and impressive results for the “simple� two step process…not bad considering we originally scheduled a one step. I wasn’t happy with what I saw as a result from a one step, so I had to two step it; it’s the OCD in me!



Befores: swirls, deep scratches, holograms from improper rotary use…you know, the typical car I get! The clear bra on the front end was pretty dull as well, but cleaned up nicely.























Afters: - cloudy, but you can see in some of the pics the correction was in the 95% range with just some RIDS left over – no swirls, just glossy paint!

























Owner is now driving a much cleaner, wetter, glossier car!!!

One of the best looking coupes on the market. And you can eat off those wheels! Nice.

I agree, which is why I am trying to get into one now! got my mom a smokin deal on one because I do work for a GM at a BMW?mini dealership. then I drove hers a few times and I have decided that I want one!

+1. Pretty much all 3 series coupe BMWs have looked good for me. Great revival!

Great work, I just bought a 07 335i Coupe in Jet Black and love it...boosted bimmer: my anti-drug

Nice work Eric! How do you like the Blacklight?

Nice work Eric! How do you like the Blacklight?

its good, cleans well, and leaves a glossy finish that is protected.



however, I did use it in sunlight the other day on a vw toureg and had some sweating issues that forced me to QD the whole car - not something I like doing right after waxing honestly



for the most part, its a time saver!

nice, I might be picking one up here pretty soon as well. But its going to get a few mods done to it, and then get a tune from my new affiliate ECU tuner...(new website coming soon with more details on that)
