Wow ... you're only 13? You did a fantastic job. My favorite shot is with the trees reflecting off the trunk (boot) lid.
 
Great job on the detail!: goodjob



Its kind of hard to tell from the after pics, but did you dress the wheelwells, or arches as I guess you refer to them in the UK? If so, what did you use?

Yeah its Arches in the UK, i sprayed them with Megs Hyper Dressing 3:1, giving a nice matt/low shine finish :)

I was still washing with a towel and dawn at 13, but you are amazing. Great work and I look forward to reading any other posts you have.
 
At 13 you're well on your way. I'm 21 and didn't even think about detailing until I got my own car at 18. Even then I didn't know as much as you and you're 13!!! Great job and good looking out for your future.
 
great job ... nice car many years i used autoglym product ..best quality .



when y used autoglym spr by pc do you let polish to dry or use spr like compound and work with polish to break down?
 
Excellent job! Very wet finish on that 7!



BTW, didn't know you could even get a 6 cylinder engine in the 7 series. I guess that is a European option? :nixweiss
 
Awsome work man, I'm 15, and I kow what its like to have to undercharge a bit. Anyway I think i read on your last thread you planing on moving up to rotary, do it!! Really, once you learn it well its so much faster and I believe it produces better results.



Nice work!
 
I am really 13. I got started as i was fed up of having a dirty car, after i started to go to car shows, and wanted that show car finish on our cars, so got into detailing.



My rate of work is good, im doing an average of 2 cars a week :)

Wow! I wish I had all this knowledge when I was your age.:bounce You did an outstanding job on that BMW! Keep it up like that, and you're on your way to a great future!:goodjob

Looks great!



In the US we usually get a choice of two engines in a given model of car; in Europe it seems like every car gets at least five engine choices. A 2.8 in a big sedan (saloon) seems small to us (my Golf has a 2.8). Wonderful looking car however.
