WesR x e90 M3(70 pics)

Hey everybody,

Just trying to catch up on write ups that are way overdue.

This was the first Interlagos Blue M3 I got a chance to work on and the fact that it was an e90 made it that much more interesting. The car was dropped off and left with me for a few days since the owner was heading out of town.

As usual the first walk around shots






I rinsed off the rims and then applied p21s wheel cleaner




While the wheel cleaner was working I moved on to the engine and exhaust

no during shots just befores and afters

and an artsy farsty shot


The exhaust was not to bad so just a microfibre mitt was needed


after


I turned on the car to let the engine run for a bit and blow out a little water in the exhaust. Man that Encore Titanium exhaust is LOUD

Finally got back to the wheels and started on the inner barrel with my Ez Brush


All foamed up


Did the face and behind the spokes with my microfibre mitt




And a wet after shot


Started rinsing down the car and noticed right away no wax was on the car which for me was a good thing for polishing but a bad thing for the car until it met me lol



No water beading = no wax




Started washing the car using the 2 bucket method and a natural sea sponge




Then dried off with my waffle weave towel


Brought it in the garage and began to clay bar the paint


The dirt the clay was picking up


I think someone ended up off the track


After the claying I measured the paint to see the levels I was working with








No repaints and nothing ridiculously thin
