As always, thank you for reading my write ups!

 

Wow amazing work. The car looked like it was in pretty bad condition before. How many hours did you spend on the detail? Did you find the paint difficult to work with? As in hard/soft clearcoat?

 

Great car. Fantastic correction and writeup! Thanks for Sharing

 

Love the work you do man. Looks amazing world of a difference

 

Lovely work and lovely colour...Well done :thumb:

 

Looks good! Nice color with really perfect reflections!

Did you forget to apply tiredressing at left front wheel btw?



And how come the discs aren't drilled, as on all E46 M3's ? =)

 

That thing was in a bad way, you really cleaned it up!

Btw, are you a vampire? LOL, no reflections of you in any of the shots....

 

Thanks! I had 1 1/2 days into this one and I actually worked on this car almost exactly two years ago and since it seems like 99% of my details are BMWs I don't get fazed by the paint at all. It's a hard clear coat but cleans up easy for me.

Thanks for the kind words guys!!

Lol you're the first to notice congrats! After I pulled it out into the sun I was like DOH, it received the proper treatment when I got back. Do you mean the rotors? E46 rotors aren't drilled unless the owner puts on aftermarket ones.

Thank you!! A real professional doesn't relieve himself lol, JK I try my best to not be included in the shots.

 

Are those RE30s I see?!

Btw, how do you manage to wash a car properly at night?

 

Experience, I do it all the time. The owner dropped off the car at 8pm and I didn't have enough time allotted to wait until the sun came up. Plus I use my 1000 watt lights to aid in the darkness

 

looks great man. camera skills are still superb as well as the quality of work you put out. I swear you almost always have a bmw that is getting corrected. You are the BMW King.
