Busy week of work. I hope you all enjoy these. Total time, 8:30 am - 6pm 9.5 hours no lunch, just juice and nuts.

First the e-36 m3, Dark green moderate marring with super dirty bbs rims and engine bay.
Used 1z (1:8) blitz on tires, wheel wells, engine bay, trim.
Used P21s wheel gel (1:1) on the wheels,
1z Plastic on the trim (after blitz).
1z teph to dress the engine bay.
Used 1z Glanz 1:32 with p21s taw 1:32 car wash. (this does not make a whole bunch of suds but it does clean the car of alot of grim and old wax. This is my preferred wash for prepping a car to be detailed.)

The pictures, As i am washing the wheels, tires, trim and engine bay.



Right now the engine is presoaking with blitz for about 5 min, then i will brush, sponge, rag it all before i rinse it off.



Notice the previous detail works left over polish and wax in the sunroof.



After wash, clay pad, drying, taping.







Couple of shots of the marring. Which was a pain to photo graph in the confined space. Hood & right FF polished with 106, Rest polished with HGP. Finished with 1z metalic polish and 1z glanz on top.

Sister car to the 3.0i coupe, The m-coupe. (1998) with 19k miles. The car had been prepped by the owner 2 years ago for bmwccapsr concours. It was in good shape. It did have some heavy marring. Which was mostly hidden unless under direct sunlight. Even the sungun and brinkmans were near worthless. That being said. It tured out very very well.


This car was not the same detail package as the blue 3.0i above. 8:30- 2:00 2 men 12 hours.

Started with :
Used 1z (1:8) blitz on tires, wheel wells, engine bay, trim.
Used P21s wheel gel (1:1) on the wheels,
1z Plastic on the trim (after blitz).
1z teph to dress the engine bay.
Used 1z Glanz 1:32 with p21s taw 1:32 car wash.
