    DJC's e46 1 stage detail a Wheel refurb

    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 )



    Before



    After



    50/50







    Before (black thing is my lense, theres dust on it )



    After



    Before



    After



    Before



    After



    Random reflection shots...





    There was a heavy mark here, can still be seen by the light at the top but noticeably better then before







    After shots:

    Wow that's a serious transformation Chris. Looks savage now.
    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.

    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.
