Alpina B12 5.7 8 Series Exterior Detail W/ Street Dreams Detail

Recently completed, I flew Dave out from New Jersey to help with a collection I am doing slowly. This vehicle is one of three in the USA according to the owner and I have not seen a car like this since I visited the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1999.

Dave getting pre-correction pics.





During the wash portion.








Trunklid was hazy with shrink/marring.











Yes some things can be corrected by hand, one detailer I know thought this is how you did things in the olden times(Youngsters......)





Old crust built up on the bottom of the rocker.





Making progress.






50/50 on the rocker.





Moonroof hazy, and with a bird poop etch to add insult to injury.





After cutting with Menz FG400, finish is clear once again.





50/50 on the topside of the rear bumper.





Dave handling the correction "J" style.





Myself holding the "Bank vault door heavy" trunk while "Jness" is accomplished.





Vehicle finished, restored to a high level once again.

 

Even though we did not touch the interior, it was nice to see the custom touches.

 

Very nice work Bob!

 

nice work... amazing automobile.

 

Very nice. A respray on the front lower bumper should finish it off.

 

Don't like to do the bottle in the trunk gap to prop the trunk up trick huh

 

Looks awesome.

 

Looks awesome! I'll bet that's a nice collection!

 

It is.......................... 100 vehicles.

 

Trunk was heavy, I would do this if I was alone but since I was there I could move the trunk where Dave needed it.

 

Great job yet again Bob, always liked that car's styling and especially the interior

 

Nice job, I used to work at a BMW shop, always loved that series!

 

Euro spec sweetness!!!

Awesome work Bob and Dave.
