E36 M3 Exterior Detail (Picture Heavy)
Gave the E36 M3 of R.S.C a nice exterior detail this weekend. Decided to make up a nice write up for everyone to see! Thanks to Flav for coming with the car to help out and take photos!
Started with a wash and clay http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2889/9...838e8b51_b.jpg Wheels cleaned up http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2814/9...99891ff6_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7447/9...e67175d5_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7296/9...1868ffbf_b.jpg Some photos of the damaged paint http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3780/9...21156691_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7374/9...3d5e8560_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7389/9...5dc1da25_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7436/9...785c4a7d_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7310/9...48b0bb08_b.jpg |
Began the first stage of polishing.
Getting better: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3748/9...410559fb_b.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2820/9...c9fa6223_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3719/9...85888d8d_b.jpg Spoiler taped off. Polished on the left, untouched on the right. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5481/9...f98b9a8e_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5331/9...786e9b02_b.jpg After an IPA wipedown, sealed the paint with Autoglym HD. Great wax. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3674/9...8e163c99_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7460/9...a28e8106_b.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3834/9...510c6cb1_b.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7441/9...4cfb8e89_b.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5466/9...ab7e1344_b.jpg |
Unfortunately got dark for finish photos. Camera flashes and Brinkmann lights show off the paint though :)

That looks amazing. How many hours did you spend on it to look like that? Great job

Looks great! Are the swirls completely gone? How many stages of polishing did you do?
|
Awesome job Kurt, really brings out the colour. Didn't know you detailed!
|
Kurt did an amazing job with my car. What I was really impressed with is how he fixed the key marks and my sun roof which had an huge amount of scratches and swirl marks.
The entire car is now swirl free and the colour of the paint really pops out at you now. And big thanks to Flaviu for bring my car to Ancaster! Sent from my SGH-I317M using Tapatalk 2 |
Nice Job Kurt!

looks pretty nice!
what polish/compound did you use? have you thought about using a coating or selant instead of the autoglym wax? lock in that nice polish job a bit longer! the photography was great also! that also helps display a great detail job! |
