Fierce5 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 So Friday was the 2nd time I detail for money and that was great not only because Im making money doing something I like but because it gives me the excuse to order more stuff The subject is a BMW 330i that belongs to a friend of a friend of mine. He only wanted the exterior done which was fine with me since I had to finish it in one day and fixing the exterior and the interior by myself would have probably required more than a day. All products used are Adams except for some brushes. So here are the BEFORE pictures: Scratches Water spots Water spots on the chrome trim Bugs and faded plastic trim Baked dirt, rust and other stuff Baked brake dust My wheel brush after doing only one wheel The clay bar after doing one panel Now the AFTER pictures: Some fixed panels and flash test: Fixed chrome trim (Using SHR on an orange pad and a cordless drill) Wheels cleaned and tires treated with SVRT The exhaust tips cleaned and polishes using MP1 & 2 The trim in the treatment process with SVRT The engine bay detailed and treated with VRT (not SVRT) A semi nasty scratch found and removed Now, the Dylan shots Some overall and final shots In case you guys wonder whats on the windshield, my father liked my work and decided to create an advertisement material for me and stick it on the windshield for other cars to see (we live on a major road) Needless to say the owner was extremely happy, asked me to email him the pics so he can email it to bunch of his friends who want to get their cars done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word of mouth for good work. Works everytime. Oh and BMW wheels? :willy: You're right, its tough to spot them but Im pretty familiar with gray, my Camaro is a Cyber Gray Metallic so I know how it is. The wheels were time consuming, it took me 2.5 hours to get the 4 wheels perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
