Envy Valeting Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 A 2 day, 2 stage paint correction detail was carried out on this Carbon black M3 by Envy Valeting last week. 1st one of these in a while, but in the past had rather a lot of them but its always a pleasure to do these OK here we go anyway! I quoted this one when I was down in Poole doing the 1M coupe a few weeks back and I'm glad to say the owner decided to get the work done. The wheels were removed after cleaning and taken to a local place that re-polished and lacquered the faces as there was none present anymore. The wash process (no pics as time was tight) was my usual process of starting with the wheels, APC in door shuts, boot, fuel filler areas and followed by SSF, rinse and the TBM to wash. Rinse and dried ready to clay. The clay of choice was Dodo Gentle grey and was no real surprise! Once clayed the car was taken indoors, wheels removed and taken to be sorted elsewhere. Paint depth readings showed normal, so, some before pics of the victim! Work starts on the rear quarter... Unrefined I quickly settled on the Scholl Concepts S03 gold followed by menz final finish, polishing and refining each panel before moving onto the next.Wiping down in between sets with Eraser and checking work with the Sungun, halogens and brinkmann Middle section polished Rear pillar polished Front wing Starting to clean up now Some finishing touches The interior was detailed and leather treated to Dr Leathers wipes, glass cleaned, tailpipes polished, plastics, tyres dressed etc etc. Wax of choice was the mighty Dodo Supernatural, and here she is all buffed off and ready for the proud owner..... and finally Thanks for looking Tim Quote
Wasso Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Nice job Tim, reminds me of the terrible 5 series estate I had to do. Took me a whole day just to see the lacquer Nice when a really dirty car buff's up like that. Top Banana. Might need to order some of your "home brew" snow foam soon Quote
Paddy78 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Wow! Apart from the oxidisation on the brake discs, that seriously could be a new car! Quote
EH 370z Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Amazing job as usual Tim. What do you use to dress the tyres, without it splashing up on to the body work? Quote
Envy Valeting Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 Super work, as always, Tim... Many thanks Freaking awesome Thankyou Super duper job my man. Cheers Paul Good work Tim Thanks Jim Amazing job as usual Tim. What do you use to dress the tyres, without it splashing up on to the body work? Thanks Toby. I tend to use a liquid product from my local Autosmart guys called Highstyle and apply from a small bottle via the sort of "scourer backed" style soft pad you'd use to wash up with. Works well, controllable and costs FA really compared to a branded one. Quote
Envy Valeting Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 What level of package would this be? A big package Seriously though, more work on a Beemer due to the paint hardness. Less of a job (money) on a Zed. Quote

Might need to order some of your "home brew" snow foam soon The Zed show's will be coming up soon enough Ian! I may have to tweak it a little as its staying on the ground more than I personally would like after its been rinsed off. Sure, cleans well enough but after I have squirted I like to clean up Quote
Wasso Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I know what you mean, but to be fair I'd rather it had a good consistency and do the job required. Jet washing the suds away is no issue and by the time you're finished they've gone. Quote
Dblock Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 anyone notice the maserati parked next to the old school 911 changes colour Nice cars, a ford gt, a couple of massers and a few 'rari's. Quote
bronzee Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Goodness that Bimmer was a shocker. Doesn't look like it had been cleaned in a veryyyyy long time. Lovely finished product as always. Quote
