This is run out model of the E46 3 series, which had pretty much every box ticked on the options list
I was asked to carry out one of my enhance and protect details, and recolour the side bolster on the drivers seat, a common problem on 2 door BMWs with sports seats!

Shuts being cleaned with G101




Foamed



Washed
Rinsed and clayed

Re- rinsed and dried, then indoors for inspecting



The aim of this detail isn’t 100% correction, it is mainly to remove all the lighter swirling and knock back the deeper scratches with a single stage machine polish.
Some before and after comparisons

After

All but the deepest scratches remain just visible above and to the right of the light
Bootlid before

After

Comparison – door done, front wing not

Random afters



Boot reflection

Once all the machine polishing was finished, I set about sorting the side bolster on the drivers seat.

After


Once all the other bits and pieces were completed, a layer of Swissvax Best of Show was applied, wheels sealed, tyres dressed, engine bay dressed
And the end result
