This beautiful 335 coupe was brought to me by one my regular clients who recently purchased the vehicle pre-owned. His main concern was the exterior paintwork which was covered in swirl marks and scratches from improper washing. We agreed on a two step polish to restore clarity and gloss in the paint as well as an engine detail and light interior cleaning. The customer also requested to have the rear badges removed. Process: Tires and wells cleaned with OPC 3:1 Wheels cleaned with Duragloss AWC Badges and crevices cleaned with OPC 3:1 Washed with Duragloss 902 and OPC Menzerna Powergloss on 5.5" orange pad Menzerna Powerfinish on 5.5" white pad Sealed with Opti Seal Glass cleaned with Stoners IG Tires dressed with Poorboys BnB Leather wiped down with OPC 5:1 Protected with Optimum Protectant Plus Car before Dirty BMW wheels Crud behind the license plate Swirls all over. What an eye sore. Filthy engine Cleaning with Powerclean Working on the wheels Much better Cleaning the door jams And the fuel door Getting into all the crevices and body lines Two bucket wash Blown dry This is what we're dealing with Pulled inside Clay bar to remove contaminants Not too bad Beginning the compounding stage 50/50 shots Passenger side done Interior just needed a quick cleanup Finally the afters
Thanks, I agree! The owner also wasn't a fan of the smoked tail lights so we installed brand new cherry lights as you probably noticed. Made a huge difference.
Haven't been on a lot with school getting crazy, but I could go for a late spring rematch, how about Ken?
That was just nasty! He needs to drive it by the guy he bought it from and show him what it is supposed to look like.
Great work on the infamous Jet Black BMW paint (from what I can tell from the pics). Cleans up nicely alright, but it will probably be all swirled up in 1 wash!
Yikes, BMW Jet Black is painful! Nice work making her look respectable again. And I agree: looks a million times better with the regular OEM rear lights.
Unfortunately yes, but I spent some time with the owner discussing proper wash techniques so it wont be as bad the next time around.
