BMW 320D - Back to black
Hello guys
What can I say.... Im shattered. It was 26 degrees here today, It was hot, humid and my rotary bombed out before I could even use it. So its been a rough day... Feeling dizzy, nauseas and exhausted So here we go. Today was a 320D in black. And it needed some love. Some before pics: An then the hatred of my life... Typical BMW Wheels... Check the tar deposits.... Poor clay bar.... This ladies and gents was a quarter of the front panel.... Disgusting! The car was: - Washed and clayed - Given 4 coats of Chemical Guys Pro polish - Rewashed - Given two coats of Collonite - Then given a coat of Opti Seal sealant and glaze. - Rims were waxed with Bilt Hamber - Interior was cleaned and leather treated with Chemical Guys Leather Treatment. The leather looks awesome now! - Engine Bay was cleaned. - Tyres and trim treated with Chemical guys 0 New car dressing (Something like that) The owner seemed quite happy.... My arms are ultra sore considering it was all done by hand Here are the afters: What you guys think? I think its ok seeing I only had 10 hours to work on the car... All comments are welcome! Mike |

The wheels turned out ok.... Just took a lot of rubbin with the clay bar to get the crap off. Tar remover did nothing, prepsol degreaser, APC did nothing. What a nightmare... But they look brand new now which was something that really chuffed the owner.
My arms hurt.....lol |
