    Ind e46 coupe detail

    This appears a bit on the spotted thread as it stands out for being such a cool colour but to match the colour it also has a nice 330i engine under the bonnet

    Usual prep here but some pictures of Iron Cleanse in action on wheels and body

    Getting the insides of the wheel here





    So onto the befores, it was detailed back in Feb 2011 by Detailer.ie i think it got an enhancement















    Engine bay beofres













    Indicators got removed to polish around so got some love while off the car



    Backs of them cleaned



    And back on the car with all the area polished up! Just needed another wipe from the buffing cloth my bad



    Gloss trim all taped up ready to be brought back to life









    another natural 50/50



    50/50





    All done





    Before and afters

    Worst mark on the bonnet, better here but got another hit the follwoing day with a spot pad and S3 before refining to get rid of more of these marks













    This shows that even sometimes its not possible to get it 100% this was 4 hits with a heavy cut pad/polish combo! Been machined before and readings were low so safer to leave then to go any further

    1st hit

    2nd hit

    3rd hit

    4th hit, not much improvement there so time to refine the finish








    More so on the badge here, the rest was done separately to get more scratches out that are out of the shot







    Reflection shots







    Afters:
