TLC Time

A couple of weeks off and not back to work 'till the 8th Jan so on it. A full spray of EZ decontam solution, jet wash, snow foam, jet wash, hand wash, jet wash then blow dry (it's a convertible ). Clay bar with Autoglym Rapid Detailer as lube followed by EZ decontam to remove polishes etc. A slow speed cut with a medium compound with my rotary polisher then a deep polish with a soft polishing pad, buffed up then a coat of Autoglym Extra High Definition Wax. 3 panels done today, should finish tomorrow ..... hopefully. Bella should be called L'Oréal because she's worth it



That's an extra 30bhp added right there

 

The paintwork is looking fantastic. Well worth the effort and TLC I’d say.

 

Thanks mate though currently halfway through the bonnet wishing I had a mini right now

I envy your time, your barn and your skills!

If I get a break in the work flow tomorrow I will have to give the M440i a wash/vacuum in the very least.

 

Took an extra week leave just to do this, it's a saving of at least £600-800 if I had a proffesional Detailer to do it. I should coco. That said, it's the first time I've used a rotary polisher so happy with the result thus far.

Thanks

 

Done. Not bad for an all year round car











Interior to do another day.

 

Looks spot on. Some dry weather currently, so hopefully the car won't be completely ruined within a few miles of driving!
