SpecC detailed : jay spec's AW E90 335i
First of all, I'd like to thank my two friends who came over to take kick ass pictures for me as you'll see. drsourmonkey and m38 ftw
This car belongs to our very own jay spec who pretty much has his car maintained by me. Mtech, LMs, Studie Lip, 100% LEGIT! LMs though... worst wheels to clean.... possibly EVER White is surprisingly one of the more rewarding colors to detail though. Entire front end is clear bra'd. That's the entire hood, headlights, front bumper, front lip, and two front fenders. Not as easy to work with as I thought. Pictures will show later. First time trying the green uber pads this time. They are clearly the best flat pads out there with little things. It's soft. It's got retracted foam. Its velcro grips like super glue. It's inexpensive. What more do you need? I'm ordering more when I up my budget. Materials Wash and Dry Grit guard 2 Zymol sponges Imitation sea sponge CG CWG Swissvax Detail brush DI waffle weave drying towel Clay ONR 2 oz per gallon clay lube Swissvax blue paint rubber Isopropyl wipe down afterwards Engine bay CG grime reaper 4:1 dilution Swissvax detail brush P21S total auto wash - under the hood CG Fade2black - dressing Paint correction Menzera PO203S Power Finish via Green Uber pad Menzerna PO85RD via 3M black US pad Menzerna PO203S Power Finish via 80mm 3M UK yellow pad - for the tighter areas like the pillars Hitachi SP18 rotary 3M yellow backing plate Protection Duragloss 105 Wax Zymol Vintage Everyone only cares about wax! Well, this one costs $2200 and is worth it. Wheels P21S wheel gel P21S total auto wash - tires CG Grime reaper 4:1 - initial spray for tires Swissvax wheel brush EZ detail brush Stiff bristle tire brush Clayed with listed materials above Menznera PO85RD by foam applicator by hand DG 105 Vroom drying towel Exhaust CG metal polish 0000 steel wool microfiber towels Other tools 1000W husky halogen lamps Bunch of CG all purpose towels ON WITH THE PICUTRES    That's disgusting.  My hand is getting cramps just from looking at it.  Grime reaper is a werking girl!  P21S wheel gel foaming like crazy. Sometimes, it foams a bit too much. I mean, it foams too much all the time   Scrubbed and brushed all over  Well that really makes a HUGE difference. To the inside!   Clear bra     Light swirling. Nothing that POWER FINISH can't handle Okay, how about some before and afters Before  BAM!  Before  POW!  Swirl busting 101 1. Choose a tool  2. Apply polish  3. Kick ass   4. Finish kicking ass  5. Make sure you are done kicking ass  6. Look really cool  Side mod action for my friend's MR2  Now that's one JDM sticker. Day 1. Completed.  Day 2. More of this  and even, some of this!  I kid, I kid. Exhaust polishing  After a lot of polishing, we take out some VINTAGE  Applied with foam applicator  So hazy!  Back to being OCD     In my defense, Zymol Vintage was incredibly hard to wipe off after just 30 minutes. And done! Finished in the day time for you to see! ENGINE BAY! WITH THE TURBO!  I lied. This is just under the hood     Exhaust done  Wheels. So very expensive      All the pictures kick ass, so I just used them all instead of pick which ones. GARAGE SHOTS!      How about some in the San Francisco daylight?        Lastly, here's some beading pictures.   Enjoy! Last edited by SpecC; 03-23-2009 at 02:31 AM.. |
