I was asked to help out TWC with 6 cars they had trucked up from CA. Originally they were going to be dropped off at my house for me to prep last week. The Hauler decided he needed a 3 day layover in portland, where he parked his trailer under pitchy Doug fir trees.



When they arrived in seattle they were laden with oounds of dust. I had to wash, wipe down, and do minor clean up at the venue on 6 cars.

3 M3's, 1 b5S4, 1 MkIV GTI, 1 ist Gen IS 300.



My optimum no rinse wash had not made it here, Stupid UPS. So i had to was them as carefully as I could. I was able to avoid doing disasterous damage to the cars, IE swirling. I can not say as much for the truck hualer who nearly took off the body kits on all 3 of the M3's and the GTI. On top of that he wore his dirty filthy gloves and left swirling hand prints on the car.. Sigh.. Wel I did the best i could in the time i had given.



First, torture for BMW lovers, A friends B6 S4.

The second M3 e-36, Supercharged. IMHO the car i would want to own. It's not as heavily modded as many of the others, It just feels right.

Volks on a BMW? Eh....:D



So you just had to wash them when they came in? Looks some of the cars could have used some polishing, huh? Don't you hate when you don't have the time (or the client isn't interested) to do the car right? :(
 
the client was intrested, time did not allow it. They won 25 awards. The silver/grey m3 won 7, the black m3 5, the blue won 0, The reason he did not was, he does not have seats, and stereo. The VW won 7, the first gen is300 won 2 (the car that it competes directly with has won BIS 3 years running) The blue on blue b5s4 won 2.



They told me thanks and not to be upset about not getting the time to fix the paint condition as the judges don't know jack about what to look for.
