Concours Finish Detailed: 2005 BMW M3 Alpine White

I did this customer's s2000 few weeks back to prep it for sale since he just bought an 2005 M3 and wanted me to work my magic on it. He has now come over the dark side but he is still retaining some JDM roots with Volks. It was in pristine condition after I worked on it until his neighbor decided to lower its resale value! Pics below.

Really starting to like these foam tip swabs



I always use 3 buckets. 1 for wheels. 1 for soap & 1 for rinse. 3 sheepskin wash mitts. 1 for lower body panels and other 2 for the rest.


Wash products. Prima Mystique in 1 oz squeeze bottle for foam cannon and soap bucket. P21S TAW for pre-wash degreaser

The client lives in an town home complex where all the garages are lined up along an alley and people usually back up to get out. So as I was applying the wax, the neighbor was backing out his Toyota Sequoia and BOOM!




The culprit.


The client has always babied this car and now he has to report that its been in an accident right before he sells it.

Back to the detail now. here are some afters



Interesting choice in putting japanese wheels on a german car. To each his own.
