Jeff's BMW E39 M5 - Taming 323kw - Detail

With the Canal Walk Motor Show, we were quite pushed for time and had resorted to detailing at night in order to push through enough cars.

Jeff's M5 was one of these cars, and boy was I nervous about this car.

Having known the car well, I knew what to expect and I knew it would take a lot of work to get this car prepped for the Motor Show.

Here the M5 is on arrival, already you may see what I am talking about:

Because of the work involved, and to save time I had some help come through in the form of a Jeanre also known as Psymon69 on the forum.

We started with a very thorough wash, scrubbing the mag wheels and paintwork before drying and preparing for polishing.

With the car dry we inspected the paintwork:

I decided to go with a firm polishing pad and Chemical Guys Pro Cut 2 in order to get quite a decent cut without leaving too much micro-marring which was followed with a pass of Nano Polish by Chemical Guys to refine and enrich the Imola Red Paint.

At this point some distraction arrived in the form of Freerider and his brother and of course, chaos ensued.

Just to give an example of the correction we were achieving:

With the correction complete the car was re-washed, glazed and waxed as well as final preparations made to the interior and exterior trim.

Now, usually the afters are something I love but with the details being at night after photo's were a little difficult.

Then to make things worse, my photo's at the mall were rather pathetic and then Max, Philip and others decided to be all skilled and voila, copy paste epic after shots! :joy:

I think the results were superb, the colour popped under the lighting at the show and the car attracted a huge amount of attention. :joy:

I think Jeff was happy. :roflol:

There seriously aren't enough Thank-You buttons on this thread. Mike, I was, still am, absolutely amazed at the quality of work and what the car looked like afterwards.

A massive thanks again to Jeanre and yourself for putting in the hours so late and having her ready for the Motor Show - she really did look amazing on show there.

I'm afraid once I get the M5's clutch and flywheel sorted I'll have to come back to you and get some rubber and dirt removed :rollsmile:

I have to say, I was actually pretty blown away by the results having seen her a number of times before being detailed! Those "people" who attended to the paintwork for Jeff when he got the car really should be lobbed with a few rubber mallets! :fencelook: :rollsmile:

Looks like you guys had loads of fun, as always!! :rollsmile:

Lol its not like he didnt try. they are burnt to a crisp from jeff spitting flames wherever he goes:rollsmile: even the bumper has been singed.

epic car! left the shop at 12:30AM that night. The transformation was really amazing, it was like a totally different car!

 

[Mike1]

What Jeanre said. :rollsmile:

I tried to scrub the exhausts but realised it was futile, burnt to a crisp from all the heavy right foot driving is an understatement. :roflol:

Thank you for the awesome comments everyone!
