Road Runner BMW Club Concours d’Elegance Event + Detailed Cosmos swirl free edition

[Petrucci_M3]

Here are a couple of pictures from the First Annual Chapman Choice Road Runner BMW Club Concours d’Elegance Event.

Cool. Now on to my car.

Wow it's been some time since I've done this before. I've learned a lot through out these years and it was blast doing my own car again. Anyways, I let my car go to hell exterior wise and since this meet came up I wanted to show off my car, and since it was a Concours type event I knew I had enough OCD in me to complete that daunting task.

Anyways, I'll spare the detail list as I only used these things to get the car looking like new again.

Scratch out:

and a couple of these:

After you see some of these pictures you'll wonder how the hell can a person that detail's others cars let their car get so bad?

Disclaimer: The before pictures may scar your eyes but they'll return to normal in due time.

The way my car sat the night of February 3.

Are you serious?

Oh no worries it can be fixed!

This was much needed, but I did enjoy the debadged look for a few hours.

On to the final shots when I got home from the meet. Finally get to explore Arizona again for new locations.

For the 300+ mile daily drivers out there, what do you guys do about your rock chips? Since my car is black it stands out like a sore thumb and I've not cared as much but it looks worse now since the paint has been leveled.

That was one ugly looking E36 M3...that is until you provided some TLC. rops:

I enjoyed your humorous approach to the write-up and the 50/50 pics show your serious side when it comes to detailing. Incredible job!

That is one of my all time favorite cars and I'm glad you were able to bring it back.

It wasn't that ugly was it?

That car turned out great. What an awesome BMW meet - as a bimmerphile I would have loved to have been there. I love the Z1 there too .
