Took some before & afters on this gorgeous 330Ci.

Worked on her a few weeks back, just thought it would be neat to share results....personally i love seeing pics of people work too (like Clean Dean & Nick for example!)

:)
 
Rear tail after....by far my most best pic on this car.

Took some time polishing the rims too, they came out nice and sparkly.

;)
 
The time you spent on cleaning the vehicle [WHICH LOOK OUTSTANDING] was the payment satisfying or equal for your TIME .
 
WOW - I would have sworn those rims were a gun metal color in the before shot _- Jesus!! you got flying turkeys up there?? that's some poop!
 
Thanks for all the replys so far, it means alot! Feedback is precious.


Hehe, from my recolection i dont beleive we have flying turkey's in Palm Beach, however a few pigeons may have decided to gang up on this 330 Ci.


The rims i beleive are actually polished aluminum, they were quite tough to work on because on the numerous cracks and crevies, not to mention the metal bolts/studs that had grime and dirt in between them.



Here was what i did:

(1) Full exterior wash
(2) Microfiber/Waffle weave hand dry
(3) Claybar treatment (four star clay is simply fnatastic! Thanks dwayne.)
(4) Meg's #9 Swirl remover with PC, setting 4.5 (Meg's foam polishing pad)
(5) Meg's Premium Paint Protection x2 coats - This stuff looks as fantastic as it smells! (applied by hand)

Rims:
(1) Spritz of A2z Wheel cleaner followed by some heavy elbow grease.
(2) Polished with PB's PP, used regular terry cloths for application and removal
(3) Sealed with Four Star UPP

How did you clean those crevices around the bolts? wonder if you use special brush to reach in there?

This is actually an interesting story that came about on how me and this client met.

I am/have been a long time member of www.m3forum.com, talking about beemers, giving some detailing advice where needed etc. Anyhow, i get alot of questions and requests for me to come out to various locations (all across the U.S) from the forum members to detail their cars. Its quite flattering, but not immediately realistic, being as many of these individuals are hundreds of miles away from me. The neat thing is, m3forum.com has over tweny thousand (20'000) members, so inevitably there are alot of people who are very local to me. From this site alone, and based on the friendships/relationships ive built, ive established 4 clients. The time i invested being a part of a forum i love (not to mention a car i love, the M3), has given me more than i ever imagined, clients....and most of all, great friends.

Also, as an added incentive im offering all m3forum.com members 10% off for any detail package they opt to receive (permanant 10% off), they are good people and i try to show them my appreciation.

Lastly, the guy i worked for had an awesome 30minute conversation with me trying to learn more about what i do, detailing and giving me suggestions and feedback on how to make me ever more successful...simply incredible. I met an outstanding person, gave them a great deal and made their car look beautiful....was it worth it? Absolutely.

The payment (as ive structured it a long time ago) is well worth my time, energy and effort, i feel even better because tis always a win / win situation. I get to show/explain my work, share before/afters and see that 'look' on my clients face when im done. They in turn share with me very special chats, give me referals and compensate me for my time.
