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
-Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Strong w/ Orange Swissvax pad
-Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional w/ Swissvax Fine pad
-FESTOOL Shinex RAP150 Rotary
-Swissvax Blau-Weiss BMW Wax
-Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Regular
-Swissvax Autobahn (wheels)
-rain-x
-Sonax Full Effect
-1Z Glass Cleaner
-1Z Rubber Care (Tires)

and some more...


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...












even a new car needs to be clayed! this shot is after doing 1/2 of the carbon fiber roof.



And the finished pictures!











































remember, no work was done to the interior, but it was worthy of a picture...



and new stickers for Swissvax Customers!



That's all for that one,

Thanks for looking!
Dom

Incredible.

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

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.
