The owner never really cleaned the wheel barrel. It was incredibly caked with brake dust, and took 3 cleanings with SONAX Full Effect to get clean.

The plastic mesh inserts were very dry and dull. Remedied with Swissvax Protecton after a thorough cleansing with P21s TAW.

Onto the engine bay... a piece of art on it's own... We cleaned the entire engine bay using P21s TAW and 1Z Blitz, and later protected the components with Swissvax Nano Express, Seal Feed,and Protecton.

Man, BMW's come from the factory with a ton of orange peel... Did you use a PTG? What sort of readings were you getting?
 
The engine cover reminds me of an air cleaner off an old Chrysler. :) Awesome job on a pretty cool car.
 
That is just purely INSANE!!! I like the Swissvax "don't touch" sticker, hopefully others would heed the that warning. EXCELLENT job by the way!
