No 'little helper' this weekend and it sure was tough but for those of you that follow my details, here is another one:

G220 vs BMW E36 M3 ESTORIL BLUE........ - Detailing World

I do have a soft spot for M3's................

under those wheel archs we're a state weren't they :eek:

Hi Baker. Wow - that colour looked REALLY tough to work with in general - but an amazing transformation as always - even eithout the little helper!!! Crackin' job mate - i'm sure you'll be enjoying/deserving a cool beer too! ;-)

Cheers,

Ste.

nice one again mate, however my exhaust is cleaner woo hoo!!! but ive transfered the soot to my hands and have since spent the rest of the weekend trying to get my hands clean again :(

Yeah your not wrong and I was slightly surprised at the condition of the suspension arms, struts, etc..........:eek:

I really struggled to be honest with the colour, like I said in the detail the defects were there but I just couldn't show them...........:thumbdwn:

Think that it looked good in the end though and as much as the colour caused me problems, the colour looked very deep and wet in the end.......

Just enjoying my favourite beer now, Michlob Ultra...........

Yeah I have plenty of Brasso for my wheels, good stuff...........

i was wondering about brasso on alloys if it would work or not.

I use it on my alloys but then they are mirror polished so it's a different kettle of fish, I wouldn't advise using them on your normal alloy as it may well dull the finish................:thumbdwn:

ta mate

So, this is where you've been!

I like the way you say "paint showed some signs of protection..." then promptly snow foamed it in the next shot, good skills

It appears as though our rain repellent seems to be "mixing it" with the trendy detailing bunch, what's the deal with that cardboard box?

Anyway, top job as ever - I really like the E36 in that colour. I don't really like BMW's but I'd make an exception for that one

Nice one. You can do it on your own!!

Sure have mate, it's been a long weekend not only detailing the BMW but also working on my mates Golf MKIV and giving the Superb some TLC.

Got to get rid of that protection somehow and the Snow Foam does the job well..........

Comes in a cardboard box mate, so just left it in there as it has the appliactor in it, nearly bought some Rain-X but when I saw the little 'Best Buy' thing I decided to stick with what I know works.........

The E36 is an old shape now but you have to love the good old M3.

I can do it on my own and have before but it's damm easier working as a team.............:eek:

The bit you missed here was "and I didn't want Bluefox to hunt me down". Because I would have done.

Seriously.

Bootifull Beamer, another cracking job

I hope the 'little helper' didn't abuse the plastic, otherwise all the good work will have been in financial vain !!..great work again

IMO it is the best m3 shape and colour and you've just made it look even better

Good job mate, cracking finish.

Look at the state of his rear discs

Am I missing something?

:confused:

Colour I would agree but I have a soft spot for the E46............

Thanks for your kind words.......

Excellent job as usual Mr.

Tough life having to do it all alone though...

Did you break a sweat then ?

Good job mate, cracking finish.

Thanks buddy.........

The struts and discs have seen better days to be fair.........:eek:
