  • BMW M3 full interior detail by KC (1st steam spas 4 Napa & engine bay) heavy pics

    a full interior detail on this rare & exotic E46 M3,,

    I have also chk with my Friend who is a tech adv auto bavaria, he has not seen any of this convertables that comes with BMW hand phone... truly rare indeed ...LOOK LIKE THE bOND MOVIE

    with a gratitude to the onwer & his generousity....


    upon arrival... great looking M powered performance



    unavoidable swirls from car wash




    I wash with ONR no rinse wash & show how quick & fast & well....to wash yr car yrself after this detailing.....otherwise my heart work will be furtile



    engine pics before
    not too bad from a distance



    but.........................
    some close up engine pics before pi

    pics before



    water duct ...pics before


    minor scratch on this dear gruppe M serial nos 01-0116, kelvar intake duct



    fume & smoked stains beneath the underhood has been vey sore & heart broken to her lover


    more


    stains & smoke
    pics before


    work began...........................
    before pics




    mpc aggitating & BRUSHING OFF WITH SOFT round brushes....rubberised handle to prevemt scratching to the paint


    rinsing off with Optimum No rinse wash (ONR) diluting 2 ounce per 600 ml water to wash down the MPC residue.& wipe off....conserve water ...& needn't water hosing ..wetting & trouble...as i have another state of the art steam pressure cleaning....

    sound like dry wash



    50/50 comparrision pic

    ]


    after surface above contaimination cleaning....there is stain beneath the paint that need to be remove....Next...I applied PRC 151 ..my favourite AIO product to remove these stains



    tada


    another section near the front grill section...




    MPC at work & brushoff
    shing off..to remove paint above contamintion


    contamination beneath the paint...cannot bve removed with just cleaners..



    rinsing off again with Optimum No rinse wash (ONR) diluting 2 ounce per 600 ml water to wash down the MPC residue.& wipe off....conserve water ...& needn't water hosing ..wetting & trouble...2nd cleaning & aggitating with less corossive substance.....ecological steam pressure cleaning....process


    ladies & gentlemen.... steam cleaning in process



    ta da
    a steamed clean bay now


    Next...I applied PRC 151 ..my favourite AIO product to remove these stains

    the paint now...is clean & protected

    remember before
    pics before

    now





    there is no reason to treat yr engine with abrasive cleaners...when there is a better way to clean it...Wheel brightener, degresser...super degresser...more industrial cleaners...they are not easy to applied...but to me safety cannot be compromised...me still a very conservative person...health comes 1st

    No doubt the job will done fast...& look well....but is it the best available method for yr preformance engine...esp this M power 380 bhp engine....

    ..some manufacture company wil suggest....try the least aggressive method 1st.then progress..to me the least ...is not getting a stronger or a more corrossive substance...but getting the job done in another method...eg streamer to loose out the grim & grease that was build up...I am fortunate to live in this age of technology advancement time

    by the way this intake duct cost 8K...it was designed to draw pure cold air to this M powered engine

    after detail pics

    complete the same process for the entire engine bay
    pics after steaming ....before dressing




    before pics



    after steamed clean pics


    Rest of the pics
    same process for the M 3 grills


    side steps cleaning



    side steps



    electronic seats button

    by now u might be wondering the pool of water residue ..there is only a minimal amount of water drops as the steam get evaporated...faster than u see...buff off with Microfibers

    pics after

    u can even aggitate & loose caked brake dust...by steaming it


    interior detailing & steaming process



    only exotics have no spare tyre & a dc powered air pump...that suppose to last u another 20-30 km to the nearest repair shop similiary the last ferrari i detail


    inbuild GPS....it was the state of art machine when i build 7 years ago





    as i was talking with one of my fellow detailer...who happend to applied the interior car fumigation...& it is a sprayed chemical..suppose to kill all bacteria & insects...it will aggitated under hot sun...
    Hmmmmmmmmmmm..now i have a better solutions...steam it away...why do we risk breathing the chemical inside...i dont need more toxic world, which i dont need more from any one....do u resolve one but threathing another??????


    cd changer


    i open a can of worms....spilled oil & dirt tha was swept beneath the carpet




    oil stain was wipe away ,,,onr ....rinseless wash & steam away for good









    tools was also detail & steamed


    the entire boot was steamed & detail


    even this



    :sleep::sleep::sleep: sorry to make u sleepy....as I always intend to bring u to where I was ...leading you thru step by step...my encounters...as leaving a trails & a charted course for you to do better

    making this rare



    i wonder any technician here are trained to service this....BMW mobile


    it was also detail & steamed






    removing the hard top prior interior detailig



    few facts u need to know...& take note of

    u cant remove it alone - too heavy & large to handle

    very dear - u can buy a viva

    once remove the car look very sexy & sleek

    ta da

    50/50 plastic before & after detail

    rear seats before



    instead of cleaning it with abbrassive substances or chemical ....steamed it away




    the moment i place that.... the owner says...i know what u r gonna to do ...50/50 comparrision pics...certainly yes...otherwise how would u gauge it...



    talk is cheap ...now walking it out


    can u see the detail side look dulled...comparring to the right side not steam...reason being the dirt , grim & oil that was on these NAPA leathers was remove...


    the steam open the pore & the dirt surface out...nothing wrong with cleaners...but do u used it on exotics napa's?... the least aggressive makes to last longer & there is no residues of cleaners left behind



    the napa now feel more supple..after steamed

    later was conditioned by ALoe conditioner




    another head rest 50/50 comparrsion pics

      Beemer looks great! Nice write up too!
      There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

        can you really steam everything without damaging anything?
        like those electrical switches, is that really ok?

            yes, it will if it is prolong steam...water condensation...I always brisked thru & wipe of immediately with micro fibers...& ensuring...shaking off any excessive water drops prior applying nozzle on the surface... just like handling a rotary ...................

                    Have you spray any product to engine, interior and exterior before steaming?

                    Thanks

                      Thanks
                      steam it and wipe off with MF, please be swift and gentle on leathers & interiors.....esp coated vinyl parts...in Malaysia everything get disintegrates

                      as for hard stains area....pls use APC (dilutes) , if need get a brush to agitate and steam off

                      as for the boot area...All i did was steaming it up and wiping away.....


                      thanks for asking.....have forgotten ...this is one of those i enjoyed detail...wonderful owner and lots of turn a round results too
