Oakes Detailed: 2011 BMW M3 Competition - Ceramic

[Oakes]

An E90 M3 sedan equipped with the Competition Package came through for a full corrective detail, as well as ceramic coating for this new vehicle. The paint was by no means in bad shape, however it did have a nano coating applied by the dealer that needed to be removed and had some water spotting and a few surface defects. The coating was easily removed in the prep process unfortunately.

We also removed the wheels and ceramic coated them to ensure protection and easy cleaning from here on out. As you may know BMWs are notorious for their heavy brake dusting and with the multiple spokes on the competition wheels it was a no brainer.

The owner keeps immaculate care of the car, so the befores aren't eventful aside from the wheels, just surface defects that normal cleaning and light polishing couldnt remove. Here are the pics!

I just did that exact vehicle, and I love that color! Mine didn't involve a correction, so your's looks better.

Nicely done.

Looks good! What did you use to clean the wheels? The insides looked pretty greasey!

 

[FastZR1]

Once again, superb work. Do you care to share your secret for cleaning those wheel barrels? They look brand new now.

Process on the wheels = Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner, followed by IronX, light clay and then rewash and dry. Cquartz was applied under heavy heat and left to cure for 2 days.

Thanks for the kind words!

You made that car look 10x more sexy. I have a client that has the coupe comp. with black wheels and all the carbon parts. He tracks it so I get to clean it after all the fun has been had on the track..keeps me busy.

Ill try to post a pic later
