    Hey everyone,

    These are pics of a clients pearl white 335i that I was lucky to detail last year. He purchased it a couple of months before bringing it into me for a one step polish.

    The car was in great condition but not perfect due to quite a bit of rail dust and swirl marks here and there. Nothing a good clay and polish wouldn't heal up.

    YEEEEHAAA :gidiup:


    Hope you enjoy the pictures,
    Nick

    thanks everyone.

    Oh this bimmer is slammed. It's slammed hard. The owner had maya's on his last bimmer. He sold them after he picked this lovely 335i up. I'm detailing his ride again in May and I think he has put on new wheels. :D

    Very nice detailing work and those are some nice optional (expensive!) OEM wheels. It's too low though, doesn't look good.

    I shouldn't have said that it doesn't look good, as I absolutely love the Alpine White 3-series, but just an inch or so higher would have made it perfect for me.

    Fantastic work making the white look so wet though!

    Great job! I really like Opti-Seal. Is it just me or do BMW's have the worst orange peel in the car industry?

    Looks great but I think it's too low for my personal taste. It just seems like it's lowered more for look rather than performance but that's just me.

    he needs to get i lower, DOWN TO THE GROUND :D

    Thanks for all the looking and the comments Pirex, Piet, Denzil, DetailDoc.

    yea it's true. The orange peel is horrible.

    The car is fairly low, i'm a sized person and wow was it low to get into. I personally prefer just prefer no gap between the fender and the wheels however I don't want the wheels disappearing into the wheel wells but like I said earlier to each his own :)

    And how long would you go Pirex? :D
