Personally, what I am most pleased to hear is that the current owner is not the one responsible for neglecting the finish for that long.

You really brought back it's youth. I sure hope that the customer is not only happy with the result, but that he continues to bring it back for continued treatment.

From looking at the first pictures it looked beyond help. But now it looks like it's got another 20 years in it.

^Definitely a rejuvenated finish! Thanks for the kind words!

Great job. I see that you have cg pad conditioner spray. It's the same as cg luber. The pad conditioner doesn't come in a gallon as far as I know so if you need to refill it, just buy a gallon of cg luber.

^Good to know. I typically just use a quick spray of the conditioner when working with M105 to improve the working time a bit. It doesn't get much use, but it seems to help.
 
Got a few pictures before it was picked up... too bad it was dark and dreary out.

Good Lord - did they wash it with a Brillo pad? It was horrible before. Awesome recovery there!
 
Awesome job!!!:dblthumb2: what products do you used to clean wax/polish residu on the trim? Thanks
 
Litterally drooling (I have a personal love for M series).

That is some excellent work, and a testament to your skills and knowledge.

^I am also quite fond of the M series vehicles, however this e46 is noticeably "dated" compared to the newer e90's... I still wouldn't mind having one :xyxthumbs:
 
Beautiful work and Amazing turnaround....

Will the new owner fix the dent on the hood.... Upper left from the BMW emblem.
