  • 2000 DINAN 5 BMW detailed!

    This car belongs to a good friend of mines girlfriend. IMO its one of the nicest looking BMWs Ive seen in person. She just bought the car about a month ago and my buddy decided to have me detail it for her. The car was in ehhh... decent shape. Had some swirls and had a lot of little micro scratches from the previous owner using crappy towels on it. It also had a lot of wax buildup from when she waxed it after buying it.... wax build up ***** and youll fight it for years. I couldnt even get it all out.

    Anyways..

    BEFORE:








    Did a test section on the hood, split pics.

    The cleaned up section was after a very quick pass with #80. I shouldve worked it a little longer but I ended up doing the whole hood a lot longer with another pass of #80. Youll see in the finished pics the swirls just about 100% gone.





    Heres a after spending a little time on the driver door.. Mmmmm, no swirls.



    This was the same door before swirls removal.



    Not too bad eh?

    Ok.. some after pics. This car is just gorgeous!











    Some fun in the sun.















    I couldnt stop taking pics of this car! Took a total of 96 photos during this detail.















    OK... IM DONE.

            Thanks Sneek.. I love it when I can use just #80 to get the job done. After this detail I have a lot more faith in #80 vs going 2 steps with #83 and then #80.

            When I washed the car initially I thought I had cleaned the wheels real good but I didnt. There was still some build up on the wheels so I went ahead and used a little of the glass cleaner to clean them up. I supposed I couldve just used a damp MF but went with the Stoners. Worked just fine too.
