mtnbiker326 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Hello All, After receiving my first set of Adam's orders over the past few weeks, I decided that it was warm enough to attempt a Full Facemelter on my new (to me) BMW 335i. I have some before, during, and after photos. (not many as it was getting dark the first day early) This was before I started, but after I did a quick polish and sealant after I got it home. The same goes for the interior. Just showed the state between what was done prior to my ownership on the passenger seat and what Adam's products can do on the driver side and console. Wheels before and during cleaning. After the wheels clean and undercarriage spray applied (a little too much) Finished (strip wash, clay, correction x2 polish, finishing polish, sealant, glaze and Americana (and glass sealant)) :) I will say that the full facemelter won't fix the 4+ years of highway abuse the paint had seen before I got it... but now it is FULLY protected, LOOKS DEEP AND AWESOME, and I will work on touching up the deep scratches and rock chips here soon. As a side note... All the rubber glue that the tire people put on to hold the weights to the rim and then take off but leave the glue behind... that is a PAIN to get off and deal with. **Unless someone has any suggestions as to get it off easily without scratching the clear coat finish of the painted wheels?** Edited March 10, 2014 by mtnbiker326 Captain Slow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtnbiker326 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice work! Your car looks amazing, that color really shines up well. I agree. After my buddy RedAztec got this kind of a "deep" shine from his trail used jeep cherokee, I just couldn't wait to see how it did on the race blue BMW paint. I was not disappointed.

mtnbiker326 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to safely remove the glue stuff that the tire companies use to install the weights to the inner portion of the wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samers Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 3M Adhesive Remover does the trick for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guz Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice job. I always liked this color. 3M Adhesive Remover does the trick for me. This should work as well as goo gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 That Monetego Blue is a BEAUTIFUL color! Looks very similar to Impulse Blue used on the 04-06 GTOs. 3M adhesive remover will make quick work of the wheel weight adhesive. You can pick it up at most auto parts stores.
