Result of my first ever detailing job on my M3


Recommended Posts

So I used to always pay $400 - $500 to get my car detailed at a shop. I was watching YouTube videos one day and saw couple of JunkMan's videos about how to fix swirls and everything. That's how I joined here and ordered the Porter Cable Kit. I tried it and had a really hard time to remove any swirl from my car. Apparently BMW's Alpine White has a really hard clear coat. Contacted Dexter and he was so helpful and let me exchange my kit to Adam's Complete Flex XC 3401 VRG Polisher Kit, and wow, what a difference Flex can make. I respect JunkMan's opinion, but I cannot agree with him in one topic: starting with PC because Flex is really hard to control and not good for people who are new in detailing car. I actually enjoyed Flex way more, I think it is way more user friendly, more quiet, easier to handle, and gives you WAY better and quicker result. Anyway, I spent around 15-16 hours on my car and I am extremely happy with the result.

Great job! I can't ever imagine paying somebody that much money to do mine knowing what you can achieve with a little Adam's love. Glad you made the effort to take care of it yourself.

slick lookin M3, there are a few running around my campus that like to mess with my jeep :D. Good work and love all the CF accents!

 

 

Thanks a lot man! I think CF parts look great with white cars. BTW if I ever buy a SUV, it will be definitely a Jeep. I have been a fan of them since I was a kid.

 

:drool: nice job! Totally agree with your statement about the flex :thumbsup:

 

Thanks! Dude, without Flex, there would be NO WAY to get this result.

Thanks. Yeah, I should say that I got pretty tired when I was working on my car, but it definitely paid off.

 

Nice job! Sweet looking M3.

 

Thanks!

If you looked at this pic and didn't know it was a reflection off of your car then you might think it was a snowy day in the forest.

Haha yeah. Usually we have enough snow in Canada that we don't need to imagine to see it lol

Haha, most M3 drivers don't let anyone touch their car, we are kind of crazy lol But if I were you, I would definitely upgrade to Flex.

 

Nice job. I love your car by the way! :drool:

 

Thanks! She is my baby.

 

Beautiful car and nice work!:bow: This is my dream car.:drool: I owned an E46 330 for about 4 years and it's still the best car i've ever owed.

 

I am coming from an e46 330xi as well. Had to work hard and save for 2 years to afford this car.

 

Good job man, you help me make up my mind, since i have an e46 AW m3. I was gunna go pc, but because of your post, i'm going flex.

 

Dude, e46 AW M3s are soooooo beautiful, I would love to own one of them! I will definitely buy one in future if I can find a clean manual one (and obviously if I have enough money)

 

ok. is that a carbon fiber roof! nice effing ride guy!:jawdrop::thumbsup:

 

Thanks man, yes, CF Roof, front splitter, mirror cap, diffuser and spoiler.
