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.
Before
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
