This was my first BMW Z8 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was very impressed with the build quality as well as design of this car inside and out. Very well done. My new favorite BMW.
So anyways it's a 2001 BMW Z8 with 7,000 miles been sitting in storage for a few years and the owner just bought it and wanted it fully perfected and protected. We talked about what that meant and he agreed to what I wanted to do with the car with the addition of undercarriage work.
With no further ado I'll let the pics and write up do the rest of the talking.
Before I got started on anything I wanted to get the undercarriage out of the way. So we drove it up on rhino ramps and squeezed under the car to wash it out.
It was a tight fit but we managed. Basically rinsed it down, then washed it with an old mitt, rerinsed and gave it a good wipe down with some MF towels.
It was really not very dirty at all, just some water spots and a little grime around the wheel suspension parts but nothing too much.
We finished the back side then flipped the car around and did the front side.
All and all took us about 2 hours.
Next I washed and clayed the entire car and you'd be surprised at how much contamination was on this part. The new owner said he doesn't think it's ever been waxed and I'd have to agree with him as it was pretty nasty for the miles and storage situation.
We cleaned up the interior and then taped it all up to prep it for paint correction.
Now onto the paint condition.
