Evening. This job was completed last week.. a week that saw a total of 65hrs back breaking hard work on 3 different cars
This particular car took 33hrs over 3 days and was done at Munich Legends BMW specialists who now have me to carry out detailing work on their higher end stuff. Great guys and they carry out some wonderful restoration. This one however was a completely original UK Sport Evo which needed a fair bit of work.
The car had been sat in storage since 2001 so wasn't really dirty but lots of dust and the paint was looking rather tired. Its a Sport Evo (Evo3) and had covered 51000 miles (original UK car) and was all original and never converted for track or anything like that. Serviced twice a year despite not covering any miles in the last 10 years.
Dont forget to follow us on or . I'm trying to use it more regularly to post little updates of what we are up to

Wheels with Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner & Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover
Agitated with 1 brush for the wheel face and an EZ Detail Brush for the insides
Pre foam with Meguairs Hyper Wash then rinsed after 5 minutes. If you cant fit a foam bottle to your pressure washer then this Foam Gun is very good and works on mains pressure.
2 bucket shampoo with Meguairs Shampoo Plus and a Meguairs MF Wash Mit
Rinsed and dried
Clayed with Sonus Ultra Fine Detailing Clay with Meguairs Last Touch as lube
Stubborn tar removed with Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover
Onto the polishing and a new polish for me but mighty glad I had it!
Scholl S3 Gold on a Scholl yellow pad. Correction wise it cut through the same amount of swirls as 3 hits of Menzerna IP3.02 (so saved 2/3 of time) and finished down much much better than 3m FCP. Scholl only needed one hit of Menzerna 106FA to finish compared to 3M FCP needing 2 hits or more. Without this polish it would have taken much longer! (as if 33 hrs wasnt long enough already)
A few before and after shots...The I wont post them all as it will make for a LOOONG post but they can be seen in my portfolio on my website by clicking HERE

The paint was then protected with Blackfire paint sealant. Rubbers, plastics and tyres were dressed with my new favorite product Carpro PERL
Some finished photos...
