I must come bring my car for a polish. Looks great.

I warn you Crash, it's not cheap but my word the results are insane, just came from the shop now. Looking amazing.
It's a once in 4 to 5 years kind of treatment for you car.

How much is not cheap... If it's worth it, why not... My car has been in too many garages getting engines built and subframes and rear suspension rebuilt.

She needs to be spoilt.

 

[Elton_LV]

Between 3k and 5k depending in how how much you want done. It's over a day to do a full cosmetic polish.

Late night visit to the work shop, adding value by making coffee and taking photos for you Fanatics

My brother and Bruce taking car kak.
All the M5 parts laid out, all prepped and ready for fitting

M5 engine and Bruce doing throttle bodies, these babies coming out and going to be polished so they flow like there is no tomorrow, notice his Snap-On obsession

Was considering getting on my knees to take the photo below (exhaust in).... Gotta love innovation

Coffee was made, enjoyed and kak was spoken, great little trip out the house. Progress by the time I left.

And got a photo set from Bruce today on the injectors
Had them tested, flowed and serviced

Ultrasonic bath....

Injector filters replaced

Injectors ready for flow testing post service and cleaning

And here we go

The results.

I asked why would Bruce/we go through injector testing etc. he said, don't just clean throttle bodies, air chamber, polish exhausts, test coil packs and a host of other things, and then skip what delivers petrol. Thorough is thorough.
He reckons it's what's makes the car feel and drive like new, if everything is renewed and serviced at a dealer like this, people wouldn't buy new cars because their cars would always be in immaculate mechanical condition.
I had to agree to his statement, as generally speaking, as many people say, motorplan, only serviced and Dealer X Y or Z with all receipts. Upon closer inspection on most cars I've bought over my lifetime thus far (+-30 cars some new some used), they actually in not that good a shape dealer maintained.

Not a bad idea for a garage show piece.
Anyone willing to donate one for testing lol.

Have a gap in my day to post a quick photo set on the M3

M3 interior after a full clean, valet and leather treatment. Looks like new. Didn't need to touch up a thing. Old steering wheel, having the now one I received last week put in. No laughing at my mats on mats [SEE-NO-EVIL MONKEY]

New wheel installed. Changes the whole feel of the inside of the car. Feels tons better having a smaller thicker steering wheel.

Throttle bodies, injectors, air flow etc all done about 3 weeks ago, posting just to fun
Before

After

Installing

Took the gap to also have the M5 interior valeted and treated.
