Hey guys, with it being summer i got downtime from school...was wondering if anyone was interested in getting some shine back in their cars, not a business owner just a side gig. Here are some pics for anyone who is interested...

Here is a 675+whp e46 m3 done this past weekend

Before...

PS ignore the middle finger...we used it to focus the camera but couldnt get it outa the way in time


Going out for its last rinse/quick detail and dry



But then the sprinklers attacked...so it was moved again



So here are some after

Prior the tips were black...after some metal polish i found out they were titanium blue








If anyone is interested please PM me or send me a email at

E46 M3 Interlagos Blue...needed some loving! Was handed keys to it Friday morning...car was returned early Sunday morning to the owner...

What the car received...
-Wash and Scrub..Clayed...(windows too)
-3 Step Swirl Removal Process
-Wet sanded some rough scratches that the Swirl Removal would not have got
-Wheels were clay barred due to dirt that just would not come off from a regular degreasing wheel wash and scrub we gave.
-Gruppe Black exhaust tips received a quickmetal polish
-Tires were degreased and scrubbed(dirt build up from tracking events made tires literally brown colored)
-Blacklight Glaze coat...Two Coats of JetSeal...and Hand Waxed for the finishing touch...

Total time spent on car~ 12-13 hours.

Some pictures were taken with my cell phone because the camera we normally use had battery issues that were later fixed.

Swirls

After 1 step polish(didn't get rid of all of them, but majority)


Car runs on air...or one would think after seeing this


Doesnt look that bad from a distance...


or does it?


and the finished product...





Really liked this color

dookateh

Car got a swirl removal with a 1 step borderline paint correction to bring some depth into the paint...wheels were clayed, all metals polished..interior touched up...the paint was one of the worst ive seen..specially with a car with 30k miles.




Hard to see but the wheels had hard baked break dust....wheels had chrome lip.







After trunk


Paint inspection after clay bar


and it begins...



afters..

Not in the bay anymore, but I must say, that's some good work.

PS, I like the middle finger in the shot, it's like you're saying FU to swirls and dirt

dookateh

^^^ Haha, that was not the intention. Going to be working with a 97 911 in a few weeks. Can't wait.

Located in San Francisco
