BMW M3 V8

Having detailed various cars for the customer, this new BMW V8 M3 was his latest edition to the collection. Previously used as a showroom example for a couple of months, it had slight swirling with occasional deeper scratches. In a couple of areas the dealer had tired to ‘repair’ scratches only making the overall finish worse.
Chatting with the customer, he wanted as much correction as possible but realised the deeper scratches would have to stay due to their depth and as always to have the car finished with G-Techniq. Choosing Exo over C1 this time.

As the car arrived…

Very dull fly spattered paint…

Dirty rear end… as you can see the finish is overall very flat with no level of real shine…

Lots of brake dust and tar attached to the alloy paint…

Exhaust exterior dirty with tar and road contaminates and inner blacked…

Onto the deep cleanse stages, using various woolies, mitts, brushes…

Kidney grills perfectly suited for small woolies..

Once dried and inside, it was time to list areas in need of more attention…
Small smart repair area on the bonnet which had hazed and heavy swirls from machine work after repair…

Very noticeable area on the near side wing where 3 very deep scratches have tired to be corrected leaving the scratches in with added deep machine swirls/marring…

Onto the correction work. After extensive machine polishing there were a few scratches that had to be left due to the remaining depth…

With the rest of the paintwork correcting very well, the flat finish has been transformed after the machine stages to a super glossy and highly reflective surface…

Carbon roof defect free…

Exhaust polished to a very reflective finish…

Onto the G-Techniq coatings…
First we layered the glass with G1 – 4 coats on the windscreen and 2 coats on all the rest including the mirrors and lights front and rear. The one by one removed each wheel, IPA’d down and layered with c5 and tyres with 3 layers of t1.
