    Hi guys

    Heres another BMW Z4M autofinesse detail, this one belongs to my childhood friend. He has no time for 2 bucket wash, so I suggested the Enhancement detail with an AF punch. The goal was to restore gloss and protected from California winter ( rains )

    Tools used


    GG DA Polishers
    Uber Green pads


    Wheels

    AG CWC
    various brushes
    Tires dressed with AF Gloss

    Wash

    2 grit guard buckets
    2 Uber no name towels
    ONR
    Auto Finesse Oblitarate

    Prep

    Autoscrub and ONR lube
    Clay

    Polishing

    AF Rejuvenate

    LSP

    AF desire


    Before


    The car was pretty dirty, haven't been washed for months because of his ankle injury.

    Starting with wheels first as always, but I sold my Kranzle Power washer, so Im doing it old fashion. Rinse, apply AG CWC ( autoglym custome wheel cleaner ) on wheels n tires, agitate all areas, and rinse.

    Then attention was brought to the paint, normally I would Foam the car with foam cannon, but I doing this old fashion again. Using AF Oblitarate to knock off as much grimes as possible around the car, then Rinse and perform an ONR wash.

    Then I prep the car with Autoscrub and clay ( Autoscrub wasn't behaving good ) Polished with AF Rejuvenate and applied a coat of AF Desire

    Nice work Franki!

    Btw the green tape on the buckets, if thats 2 pieces for a rinse bucket and 1 piece for the soap then great idea!

    yes Dave, you're correct! these buckets are very easy to get confused with. I used to have red ones, but sold them before moving to Socal.

    Nice work man, love these cars, you really did it justice. I have to say, I like the M3 wheels on it.

    Damn Franki, looks like things are going good man. That car was grimy tos ay the least. Those M3 rims really set that car off. Never seen that combo but i works really really well.

    So are you back to doing stuff on your own or still working at the shop? Wish you would have told me you were selling that Pressure Washer . . . . i have been wanting one for a while LOL

    California is ok, nothing like what I dream of, but im working on it, dream don't come true unless you DO! :)

    I sold it for $750 with foam cannon. sorry I didn't let you know, it was a last minute thing because I needed the $$ to pay some bills.
