Another modified M3 from my neighbor next door (Alekshop), paint had some marring and the wheels and wheel wells/suspension were dirty due to recent track sessions. Interior needed some time spent as well with a little "Gum on the carpet issue".



Dirty wheels.

The "Silverstone finish" is very forgiving, but the marring was there evidenced by the black trim in this pic.

Off came the wheels, in this pic evidence of "Hack wheel shop" wire brush used to clean barrel for some unknown reason.

Nice jobs! I can't believe someone did that to the wheels with the wire brush. How were you able to polish that out?
 
That is one agressive BMW! Great work all around. I liked the polished engine carbon shot. What did you use on it if I may?



Surely the Aston will greatly benefit from even a 1 step polish if I judge by the sun shots. Astons = sex on wheels :).

Very Nice!!! As always, :nod: I think BMWs are the worst cars when it comes to brake dust :der:



I think my Audi begs to differ...



I bet that BMW is a serious joy to drive.

Been a while since I've seen headphones like that :P



Excellent work Bob







I am "Oldness" but those headphones were bought just two years ago............ I will listen to music if I am not using a buffer (Rotary or DA) as the headphones will not protect my hearing as I lost some of that in the Navy when I worked around the 32" gun.



Thanks Bryan for the kudos, was going to tell you Bugatti "Undid" all the hard work you and Todd put into the Super Sport as the "Intern" I had to deal with is as cluless as they come and all the Veyron's were hammered................but that is a story for another day.
 
Update on this car, customer came in and pulled the trigger on some new "Uber tight" BBS Fi wheels which are incredible along with swapping out his supercharger for a Dinan built stroker engine. No correction on this job just a maintenance detail but the car looks so good with the new wheels I had to share the pics.



During wash.

Akra tips needed some attention

Wheels coming off to protect the finish with Wolf's body wrap.

Since the wheels were off, i cleaned up the rotors/wheel wells/caliper.

Wheels now "Locked down" with protection.

Amazing! Those wheels are a perfect fit for that car. And that rear quarter shot is :drool:



That's what a perfect stance should look like. Post it to some Audi and VW forums so maybe they quit stretching the crap out of their tires and chewing through their fenders all the time. :rofl:

This vehicle is "Adult" owned Mike, dropped serious coin on the new mods......................car is Porsche Turbo fast and handles "Wicked good" (Omage to Ryan & Rick in Beantown) owner is going to the track to roast off the Yoko's so he can mount up the new Michelin Super Sports which is the "New ish", just silly quality modded M3.
