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.

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.

Very nice work! The Yellow M Coupe is my favorite.



You have an awesome rig too! And there is one thing in the picture below that shows you've stepped up to a new standard in mobile detailing

You bring your own toilet! :chuckle: :rofl

I guess when nature calls you're ready. This clears up a question I had about mobile detailing as well. Thanks. :D









(Disclaimer: Of course I'm just kidding about the portable can)
 
Nice work Aaron. Metallic polish after the HGP? Does it take it to a higher level kinda sorta? Well I really love the HGP so far. Thank you for the tips over the phone.
 
Sorry for getting cut off there on the phone, a motorcycle cop was wagging his finger at me for talking on the phone.



I like 1z metalic after hgp, It helps remove any issues.
 
Oh no, I apologize. If it had been me talkin on the phone while driving, I definitely would have been pulled over.
