Well where to start......
My boss, owner of the Golf VR6 that me and Graeme recently detailed, decided that he wanted his girlfriend's 2 year old BMW 1 Coupe enhanced.
Ill be honest at 1st i thought this was going to be a doddle, nice hard BMW paint shouldn't be in that much of a state and a car less then 2 years old........
Drove car home Friday and Graeme met me for chat at mine to think about usual plan of action, check out car for problems etc.
If anybody searches jacking up Series 1 BMW they will understand, they dont have a proper jacking point and some wood was used to help the process and as much as some might say "oh you have faith in your Jacks", i did and i still do". These cars are a pain to jack and axel stand up.
The usual megs APC was used on the arches as well as the Bilberry (along with Autosmart Tardis on the wheels which i might add were CAKED in burnt on brake dust), the wheels ended up with a claying but was not 100% perfect purely due to time constraints, both myself and Graeme would have liked more time but it wasnt to be.
Snow foamed with citrus foam and washed using 2BM with some Megs Gold Class.
Polished using both a rotary and DA also due to some time constraints, combination of some Sonus SFX-1 then stepping down to SFX-2, then finishing off on SFX-3 to make sure all holograms from the course polish were gone.
Car to be honest was a bit of a mess and as you can see from a certain perspective we did the best of a hard job and i think a lesson was learned about how long this type of job can take on hard paint like the BMW.
