Detailing Technology : 1990 BMW M3

[imported_Detailing Technology]

This was an attempt to save the car form a repaint. It was purchased with what was called a Griots Stage 3 (I was wrong when I said 5) detail. It's only 58,000 miles from new.



The paint is single stage, which is always rewarding to polish. I think the end result is worth holding off on the full repaint. This as a two day procedure.



Process:

Wash:

CG Citrus Wash

Clay



Polish: Makita Rotary

Meguiars M105 + wool

Meguiars M205 + Orange LC

Menzerna PO 85 to jewel



LSP:

Swissvax Concorso



Interior:

Leatherique

Silk Shine



The owner has new wheel well liners and 17" Fikse wheels on the way.

After:

Here is a shot of the wheels it will be wearing later this week:

I commented in your thread with this car, very nice save on a very beautiful car. Having owned one in this color but with a black interior makes me regret, even more then I already do, selling it. And wow at 58k miles!! That car as some serious value!

Wow....awesome job and pics...



What type of camera are you using?

 

[imported_Detailing Technology]

Thanks. That car is going into storage on Sunday. The owner intends on holding on to it for a while. I thought I'd use up some of my Concorso, single stage red truly shows off the benefits of a carnauba wax.





Pat - finally got some decent shots!

That is the new D90. Some may have been taken with with my TZ5.

I would in all seriousness trade a kidney to own that thing. One of the most beautiful cars of all time.
