  • 1990 bmw m3

    This was an attempt to save the car form a repaint. It was purchased with what was called a Griots Stage 3 (I was wrong when I said 5) detail. It's only 58,000 miles from new.

    The paint is single stage, which is always rewarding to polish. I think the end result is worth holding off on the full repaint. This as a two day procedure.

    Process:
    Wash:
    CG Citrus Wash
    Clay

    Polish: Makita Rotary
    Meguiars M105 + wool
    Meguiars M205 + Orange LC
    Menzerna PO 85 to jewel

    LSP:
    Swissvax Concorso

    Interior:
    Leatherique
    Silk Shine

    The owner has new wheel well liners and 17" Fikse wheels on the way.

    Here is a shot of the wheels it will be wearing later this week:

          Looks great man! Well done.
          There's nothing like european classics. Seeing one makes me smile every time.

          Those are some nice wheels going on this week, they're going to look amazing.

                      My favorite M3 of all time! Pure and Raw.

                      How much did the car cost you? I am actually shopping for a pre 90's M3 or M5.
