Hi guys



Finally got around to taking pics of my new ride



It's a late 05 build E46 M3 SMG Individual - color is LeMans blue with Light Ecru Nappa leather and black timber. When i saw this color combo i just fell in love with it, and being an Individual car, there isnt another out there in this combo in Aus



It has all the factory options, 19s, voice recognition, Harmon Kardon sound, Nav, Bi-xenons, etc



Im loving this engine, the sound is just awesome, and with the roof down motoring heaven for me



I spent a good 4 days cleaning it up



*Wheels - Each wheel removed and painstakingly polished by hand with Menzerna Final Polish + Zaino AIO + 3 coats Z5-Pro + Wheel Wax. Plus new wheel caps



*Engine Bay - high pressure rinse + Xenit on all surfaces



*Rubbers - Xenit + Einszett GummiPlfege



*Paint/Body - was first clayed with Z-18 then polished by Mario from EuroglossPrestige, Menz Final Polish (multiple passes) and Intensive in certain areas. I then applied the Swissol Cleaner Fluid + Swissol Concorso wax with a quick wipe down with Optimum Car Spray Wax (thought id try it since Mario recommended it as a topper for P21S). Polylack NanoClean and a cotton wool bud to clean in bw all panel gap and door mouldings. Plexus on chrome grille, headlights and side gills



*Leather - Lexol leather cleaner + Zaino Z10 conditioner



*Plastics - Einszett Cockpit Premium on all surfaces (provides UV protection) + Einszett Plastik Reiniger on stubborn stains



*Soft top - 303 Fabric top cleaner + 303 Fabric protector



*Exhaust tips - Z-18 Clay + Mothers Billet Metal Polish on outside, Autosol on insides + Xenit wipedown

Nice factory look,when I was over in Aus I couldn't believe how bad the swirls were on the paintwork of most of your average cars over there,yours looks to be head and shoulders above the vast majority. Nice.
 
RIGHT ON! Sweet car, and like all the other cars you've posted lately, it looks awesome. you can definitely tell a lot of work went into the wheels.
 
Spectacular results on a beautiful car. That color combination is stunning.



What did you use on the tires? They look new, yet not too shiny.
 
Sweet ride,imho some of the pics have the look of a sealant and others have a warm glow of carnauba..Nice work ..
 
I love everything! It looks great.



One thing, you mentioned you used wheel wax after Zaino on the wheels. They look great but wheel wax has cleaners in it, so it would have taken the zaino off the wheels right?
 
Lovin' the color and interior combination. Its to die for!!



Detail looks very nice. As a dare, try the swissol by itself and let us know if you like it better as opposed to the OCW. Its been my experience that these types of carnaubas are more vibrant in color reproduction when they're applied by themselves.



Its an awesome result you've achieved though.
