DJC's e46 1 stage detail a Wheel refurb

[Chrispyfish]

This belongs to Declan DJC1980, one of my favourite colours from BMW

Didnt get a whole load of pics, the car was done over 2 days as the wheels had to go off for refurb with Wheel Wizards.

Wheels Before:

Declan told me the previous owner was a valetor, look at the insides of the wheels, he obviously used ACID cleaner































Wheels After Wheel Wizards worked their magic

















So onto the car itself...

Prewashing getting into shuts and gaps












After: (before polishing of that arch )

What are you using on the shuts etc?

To clean them down Dave? Bilthamber Surfex HD its the best degreaser out there imo, cheap too, 1ltr is about 8euro and dilute 200:1 for interiors and about 20:1 on engine bays is still very strong, water based too so very safe.

Mint Lad!! Car looked great on the MV'1s.If I had another id leave it as is.

Big difference alright - Dec would you go for anther Imola red?

[DJC]

Remember this car well, the lads did great work on it. MV1's were very good, the wizards did a great job on mine previous to that too.
