Swissvax'ed Active Autowerke prepared E92 M3
 
2008 BMW E92 M3 Coupe

Active Autowerke Supercharged and Track-prepped.

I had detailed this vehicle about a year or so ago. Since then it spent quite some time in Active Autowerke for the modifications.

This time around we did a full exterior decontamination, Single stage polish with Swissvax and protection with Swissvax Glacier (For white cars).


Here's how the car looked before:

Here's how the exhaust tips looked before. They were treated with 1Z W99 and Swissvax Metal Polish at the end of the detail.

The wheels and brake calipers were subject to 3 track days within a month. We applied Sonax Full Effect, Cleaner Fluid Medium, and Swissvax Autobahn. The tires were treated with 1Z Rubber Care.
