Oakes Detailed: BMW E30 M3 Restoration

[Oakes]

This 1989 BMW M3 came in for a full restoration detail to get it ready for sale, with only 88k miles on it the car was fairly clean and in great shape. Our goal here was to make it look undriven and we'll let you be the judge!
Alpine white is the perfect color for this iconic car!

Incredible job on a truly iconic BMW! :dblthumb2:

I agree that the pics show how beautiful white can be if someone who knows what they are doing takes it on.

One of the best detailer's work results will be noticed especially on a white colored vehicle. What a beautifull job well done...

In some of those 50/50 shots the before side of the paint actually looks like its yellowed over time. Crazy...

nice work as usual pal, what pad/chemical combo was used?

Once again! Nice work Oakes ...... Looks more like a repaint rather than a detail! Amazing!:xyxthumbs:

Thank you! The owner was certainly shocked, felt the car was clean and in great shape before hand and was speechless in the difference. My favorite part of any detail is the reaction, so I cant complain there!
