First of all, I'd like to thank my two friends who came over to take kick ass pictures for me as you'll see. drsourmonkey and m38 ftw This car belongs to our very own jay spec who pretty much has his car maintained by me. Mtech, LMs, Studie Lip, 100% LEGIT! LMs though... worst wheels to clean.... possibly EVER White is surprisingly one of the more rewarding colors to detail though. Entire front end is clear bra'd. That's the entire hood, headlights, front bumper, front lip, and two front fenders. Not as easy to work with as I thought. Pictures will show later. First time trying the green uber pads this time. They are clearly the best flat pads out there with little things. It's soft. It's got retracted foam. Its velcro grips like super glue. It's inexpensive. What more do you need? I'm ordering more when I up my budget.

My hand is getting cramps just from looking at it. Grime reaper is a werking girl! P21S wheel gel foaming like crazy. Sometimes, it foams a bit too much. I mean, it foams too much all the time Scrubbed and brushed all over Well that really makes a HUGE difference. To the inside! Clear bra Light swirling. Nothing that POWER FINISH can't handle Okay, how about some before and afters Before BAM! Before POW! Swirl busting 101 1. Choose a tool 2. Apply polish 3. Kick ass 4. Finish kicking ass 5. Make sure you are done kicking ass 6. Look really cool Side mod action for my friend's MR2 Now that's one JDM sticker. Day 1. Completed. Day 2. More of this and even, some of this! I kid, I kid. Exhaust polishing After a lot of polishing, we take out some VINTAGE Applied with foam applicator So hazy! Back to being OCD In my defense, Zymol Vintage was incredibly hard to wipe off after just 30 minutes. And done! Finished in the day time for you to see! ENGINE BAY! WITH THE TURBO! I lied. This is just under the hood Exhaust done Wheels. So very expensive All the pictures kick ass, so I just used them all instead of pick which ones. GARAGE SHOTS! How about some in the San Francisco daylight? Lastly, here's some beading pictures. Enjoy!
Oooh great looking BMW, love those blue head lights :druling: Those rims compliment the vehicle quite well, I'm sure they weren't easy to clean though. Great looking pictures too :thumb:
thanks man! Seriously, i thought this thing would just be a pain. Even in the garage with vintage on it, it made me think niceeee. Moving it out into the sun just made it GLOW The pictures are a combination of my sony point and shoot, a 40D + a canon L lens (i forgot which one), and a pentax something with some wide angle lens. I'll get back to you on the camera info when i get it from my friends Serious! After owning my white tC, i never wanted to own a white car again. After working on this though, i'm thinking i like white cars again and you should be glad! my arm is still sore from working on this thing well, i'm willing to bet vintage is good on everything though! it's actually my parents' place, but yeah, it's pretty nice. most of the time, i've got overcast, so i never take good pictures. it is even worse because i usually never finish before the sun goes down. Summer time is here now though! hey man, LOVE THE DG105! thanks a lot for that! i want more power finish too hahaha thanks denzil! hope you will enjoy the work i sent you thanks man! since this car was coming, i knew i'd have to get great pictures. The wheel combination and my confidence in working on E90s meant for a great detail and great pictures to come for sure. I hope i didn't disappoint anyone with this one thanks! i've got to try your autoglym recommendations some time. i'm nearly out of P21S total auto wash. thanks! i know you like BMWs haha That AW11 will get the same treatment during the summer.
