Poor-Boys detail barneys car

[freerider]

We finally got to do the Daytona Violett M3 this weekend.
This was a full house detail, including interior, engine bay, the works.

This M3 is a single owner vehicle, and was purchased brand new in 1994 by its current owner.
And NO, he doesnt want to sell. EVER

Only took one before pic, this was on the bonnet, Swirls where not terrible and came out quite easily with Menzerna SIP.



Some 5050 shots on the boot lid







Took this pic of the flake in the paint



Completed boot lid



flex in action



The carpets where cleaned with SmartCarpet, a product which just amazes me more with every use.





Finally we sealed with the old favourite, Chemical Guys - Extreme Top coat paint sealant with 3x Carnauba. always leaves a nice wet looking finish.



















































































Thanks for looking.

Well done PB`s - see the Flex is also paying for itself quite nicely!!

Must agree with MeTsU - those carpets look as good as new.

Wow looks great, I love that colour. I wonder why the owner changed the indicators, the orange looks better on the daytona violet. But awesome work on a mint M3

Aweseom, I am really impressed with the depth of colour you guys got out of a colour like that. Better than stock. Well done!
And can I please have a translation for Crazygolfer?

It's wookie speak Will, loosely translated it's something about him wanting to shop on the Fleshlight website but they won't accept his credit card or something

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MeTsU]

BWHAHAHA - see how The Fleshlight keeps making an appearance on this forum.

If I loosely translate, it reads:

The machine that gives him momentum is currently giving problems - it's things like this that give him inspiration to thrust it.

Great work on a truely beautiful car! Man you made that paint just pop! I have looked at that CGs sealant several times and come very close to pulling the trigger and buying it, just never did. Now after seeing your results I really want to try it. What was your process on the engine bay as it looks phenomenal.

Thanks man!

I am not a fan of high pressure spraying in the engine bay, so I use a normal spray bottle with 1:4 Megs APC, sprayed on and wiped with a MF cloth, agitated in tight area's with a "Mobile Image" detailing brush (pretty much a swissvax brush) then wiped dry with a clean MF.

After that I treated all plastics with CG O-New car dressing, and tight areas with CG Fade 2 Black aerosol tin.
Polished all painted surfaces with CG Pro-polish with acrylic shine
