Detailer's Domain: BMW M3 Detail/3M PPF Install
This was a great job for us, a complete detail with 3M PPF install.
The subject was a BMW M3 that my customer just picked up, he wanted to get it cleaned up and protected from the elements, as well requested that we install 3M PPF on the Front Bumper and Side Skirts. The car was not in bad shape at all the light scratches and swirls were not even noticed until we hit it up with a ton of different lighting. So minor we could not pick them up in pictures but they were there and it required 2 steps to pull them out. The metallic paint hid them extremely well. Mission: to max out the shine via Menzerna SIP and PO85RD, give it some nice glow and shine with Swissvax Divine and make sure the car is prepped correctly for the 3M PPF install. Products used: Exterior: Lusso AutoBathe Uber Yellow Wash Sponge Swissvax Yellow Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer Einszett Spray Wax Menzerna Super Intensive Polish Menzerna PO85RD Swissvax Divine Wheels and tires: Einszett Wheel Cleaner Swissvax Wheel Brush Uber Wheel Brush Uber Spoke Brush Swissvax Pneu Swissvax Autobahn Interior: Einszett Deep Cleaner Einszett Cockpit Leather Master Strong Cleaner Leather Master Vital Conditioner Adam's Glass Cleaner Tools: Infratech 5300 Flex 3403 The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Brushes Cam Spray and Cam Spray Foam Canon So let's start with the interior, we did the typical once over, wipe down with Einszett Cockpit and treated the Leather with Leather Master Trio Working on the interior   Dirty car  Tommy spraying down the wheels  P21S Gel on the wheels  Close up of the gel in action  Tommy going at it on the wheels   Wheels all cleaned up  Car was washed and ready for claying  Clay bar  Claying the car down to prep for the 2 step polish with Menzerna SIP and PO85RD  Phil polishing the car with the Uber Yellow Foam Pad and SIP  Dan finishing up the car with PO85RD  Dust from polishing we will have to rinse the car    Rinse down  Beading shots of Swissvax Divine    Engine cleaned up  Final shots of the car prior to 3M PPF    Not much sunlight    Prepping for 3M PPF on the Front Bumper and the Side Skirts Tommy gets to work on the side skirts first  Dan giving Tommy a hand....  Tacking it down  Installed ready for trimming and final tack down  Tommy pulled the grill and side markers off  Tommy with the 50/50 wipe down to make sure everything is clean and ready to go   Bumper being fitted with 3M PPF          Coming together     Final shot of the PPF on the Bumper   Final touches   Autobahn on the wheels /Pneu on the tires  Final Shots of the complete job       Ready for pick up          |
