BMW Dinan M5

Subject: BMW M5 – Dinan Series

 

My neighbor brought over one of his fun cars; I wanted to see what a boatload of Adam’s products would do to it.

 

First a walk around

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wheels, meet Green Wheel Cleaner……Green Wheel Cleaner say hello to the wheels

 

 

 

Bucket of suds plus the wheel well brush, I like using it on the tires, gets them real clean

 

 

Getting the Green Powerstick ready to work its magic

 

For them hard to reach areas

 

 

 

New Adam’s Wheel Brush

 

 

 

 

It may be small but it gets the job done

 

 

They clean up real nice

 

 

 

 

Used the Green Wheel Cleaner inside the wheel wells and scrubbed them before a wash

 

 

All 4 wheels and wheel wells done

 

 

 

Preping for the car shampoo

 

 

 

 

 

 

First get it wet

 

 

Now the shampoo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A real hand wash with the Adam’s JUMBO Wash Pad

 

 

Now the rinse off

 

 

 

 

This is where I go a little different, I use the electric leaf blower to blow off the big stuff, then I go over it with the White Waffle Drying Towel

 

 

Now it’s all washed and dried

 

 

Then it got the clay bar and detail spray treatment, did all the glass and paint, no pictures, kinda forgot.

 

Getting the buffer all ready to go…….saw another member try this, guess what it works better…lol

 

 

My neighbor wanted to try his hand at the Porter Cable 7424

 

 

 

Then came out the Butter Wax, again I forgot to get pictures, was moving fast

 

Ok now for an Adam’s product that I would buy in gallons……Brilliant Spray Glaze

 

 

 

 

 

 

After 20 minutes

 

 

 

Final Shots

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now some “Adam’s Shots”

Not as impressive as a helicopter but still nice :lol:

[ozzy]

Remember, there is always LIFE STAR 1, she's the white helicopter with the blue star......not as good looking IMHO, as LS2, but she would clean up real nice.

[Bill-V8V]

After detailing the LifeStar cars must seem like a small task :2thumbs::2thumbs:

its a sin to keep a dinan M5 in that bad of condition...good job bringin it back to life...i just feel bad for your neighbor wen hes sent to hell for that:bow:

[jjwvette]

Nice job on the detail, makes me miss my old Dinan S2 540/6

I don't miss the maintenance bills of owing a BMW though!

Nice, always wanted that car.

Nice detail

[11chevz71]

Nice, always wanted that car.

Saw a challenger like you have in Carlisle PA it was red and had a big black stripe going down the side. And i can say that i was very impressed. Do not ussally go for the muscle car look let alone a Chrsyler. so get choice in car.

Sweet, I don't know if I would've been diggin that stripe on there but to each is own I suppose.

I hope that M5 is a daily driver. We never used to let ours get more than dusty.

Wow!! Thanks for posting all the pics!!

 

How long did that take to detail??

I took my time, the owner also wanted to try out all of the Adam's products (I talk about them all the time). With the owner helping out it took about 6 hours, he was happy with the way it came out, plus I think he will be making an order soon.

Looks good! Brings back memories... Dad had one of those models minus the Dinan work.

 

Thing ate clutches like MAD! 2 clutches in like 30,000 miles and he drove manuals his whole life.

 

His new M5 hasn't had nary an issue since new in '06.

 

I LOVE Bimmers...
