Default Detailed: 1995 Hellrot M3

Did this for a friend and fellow board member Bimmerman535i... The car has been exteriorly neglected by the person he bought the car from and asked me to clean it up a bit for him. It was in pretty damn rough shape when I got it. Due to me not having a paint meter and the paint looking a bit thing I did not want to go after every single deep scratch. I got out the VAST Majority but there were still some minor imperfections. The owner was very happy though!


Wash:
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss
Griots Mitt

Clayed:
Clay Magic Blue Clay
Prima Slick Quick Detailer

Paint Correction:
Makita 9227C Rotary
Griots D/A Polisher
Menzerna Powergloss
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Menzerna 106FF
Yellow B&S Pad
Black B&S Pad
Orange DP Pad


LSP:
Prima Epic

Trim:
Kiwi


Interior:
Griots Interior Cleaner
Prima Nourish
Folex Carpet Cleaner
Bissel Green Machine (From the 90's :P)
Oxy Clean (For the steering wheel stitching)


Onto the pics

When it was dropped off









After a wash... or two... with a foam presoak








Trunk Before:


After one pass with B&S Yellow pad and Menzerna SIP


Dunnow why this pic came out not red ($$$$ty point and shoot white balance) but Trunk 50/50


Trunk After


Hood Before




50/50


A bit hard to see color difference in picture... but in person it was pretty crazy




A Couple afters before LSP




Oh Calvin... Your space heater aint got $$$$ on this...





Onto the interior...




Stitching before...


Stitching after...


Sorry... Only have after pic of passenger side. Forgot to take of driver side before I bolted seat back in and was too lazy to take back out.




And some final pics (oops, forgot to take interiors ) oh and thanks Roland for coming by and bringing my old DSLR for final pics

Great results. The looks like Pat McDaneld's old M3 from the holes in the trunk lid.

Holy Hellrot. Good stuff Critter!

You're gonna have to help me get used to using my new porter cable once I get the 328 back. I have a ton of swirls I need to take care of.
