BlueGenCoupe Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Let me start off by saying, the exterior of this car was completly trashed. Rock chips like no tomorrow, scratches(required wet sanding, I didn't touch those..short on time) the guys rear bumper was damaged, paint missing in spots due to side swiping something and whoever waxed this car before me left wax residue on every piece of plastic. To those of you that have a black car/Truck, I finally know the pain you guys go through. What a pain in the neck. I finally got to use the new pads and my cart. I must say, im impressed. My process was as followed. 3 Bucket strip wash - Adams shampoo/APC mix Engine wash down - APC, Boars hair wheel brush Clay SHR FMP Spray Sealant Glaze Americana Dressed up tires, trim, wheel wells and engine - In & Out spray, SVRT, Invisible undercarriage spray, block applicator Interior vacuum Leather and interior cleaner with the boards hair brush, followed with leather conditioner Enough of the boaring stuff, here are the pics: By looking at this interior, it looked pretty clean... NOT... Some damage mixed with a bad wax job. Whoever glued this peice of trim on, did a horrible job. I wish I had the new Adams brushes for these Rockin my Adams Tee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamized Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Looking at the age of that car, makes me furious at the quality of the leather in my Tl. Acura leather sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamized Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 9 years old and 100,000 kms...this is one reason why BMW is so expensive I've been thinking about hiring someone to sand out my leather? Or just buying new seats in black, I don't know if it will match my Tan interior though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenaliDan Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just judging from the clay bar alone I can tell that M3 was in worse condition than my wife's G37S. That's a beautiful car now! Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
