Swissvax'ed: New 2011 Melbourne Red BMW E92 M3 ZCP
 
This detail was a new car prep for a week-old Melbourne Red E92 M3 Competition Package. The owner picked the car up from the dealer and was not happy at all with all the swirl marks left from the "new car prep" at the dealer.

The owner wanted to get the car looking like it should have the day he picked it up, and with a coat of Swissvax on the paint. This car required Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Strong on the hood and trunk, and got a single stage polish on the rest of the car with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional and a Swissvax FINE Pad. The car was then finished off with Swissvax Blau-Weiss.

We did not do any work to the interior or engine bay.

The car was dropped off around 8am and finished around 6pm.

Products Used:

-Swissvax Car Bath
-Swissvax Paint Rubber (Green)
-Swissvax Seal Feed
-Swissvax Protecton
-Swissvax Quick Finish
-Swissvax Nano Express

Now onto the before pictures...


The owner had washed the car a few days before bringing it to me, so it was not so dirty to begin with...

Incredible.

In one of those pics even the tires look like they're made from CF.

What a stunning M3! Great detail job as well!

HarveyMushman Apr 12, 2011 08:45 PM

Whenever I wash my car the rotor always has a thin film of rust.

The first time you apply brakes it goes away, no biggie.
