e36 320i clean up..
Picked this up last week from someone who needed it moved asap. Bought without seen it and took a gamble, turned out to be a good move, started on the button with a new battery and beneath all the dirt its a good straight car.
Going to clean it up and maybe sell it on or drop it down on some style 5's and sell it that way with some NCT
Anyway onto the car in question, was sitting up for about 4-5 years...

Gave it a good snow foam and rinsed down a few times down all the shut lines and gaps running all the hidden dirt out, gave the arches a good rinsing too.
Car was then washed and engine bay got a tidy up. Was nearly time to clay, so to save some time/hassle I used a good bit of Iron Cleanse to break down any embedded iron particles etc

Onto the claying, look at the dirt of the water after a few passes of a medium clay...

So took it inside and was itching to get at the paint with the Rotary, nice to have it back in the hands again and get some gloss back into this tired old paint. Love white cars...
Left side of bonnet done with 2 stages, not perfect but back to being glossy would take another 3-4 passes to get it about 95% corrected few heavy arks here and there so might try get it better when I get more time.

Put a 2" strip of tape down to show some changes that can be made in one good pass.

More of a natural 50/50

Engine bay done, much better..

And how it looks now. Only polished 2 panels on the other side of the car so this side not done but after a good clean, clay its already looking better, no more green left
Will update the thread as time goes on, hoping to have it done soon enough
