Z4M Stage 1 detail

[Aliv6]

Stage 1 of the detail done. Still needed alot more, bloody BMW paint!
Big thanks to Bear aka Alan for coming and helping, was only a 4hr detail, mainly due to the conditions outside and it being too cold for the polish to break down.

I'll final finish it a month or so, but the majority of the correction is done!

Didn't take many pics and unfortuneately the the snow fell thick and fast before i could get final pics!

If anyones interested in the Process see below:

Snowfoamed with Citrus wash and gloss
Clayed with Polyclay and "The bears own lube"
Polished with Menz 3.04 on 3' 6' Sonus pads

No seal or Glaze at this time.

ONXY wax, finishing up old stuff just now.
wheels - Poorboys, Tyres - Blackfire

Trim - 303.

- Cheers Ali

Hi Alan...

Looking good Ali, shame about the weather though LOL. It'll be good to see the completely finished article though - what else do you have planned? Certainly looks like the previous owner had a season ticket for a carwash (looked very similar to the paintowrk on my Ibiza when I first bought it). I mentioned to Alan about detailing my VW van but he went strangely quite when I mentioned the size (LWB Transporter) and colour (white)

(Ali detailed my previous car - awesome job - so I'd expect nothing better than PERFECTION when it's his own metal )
