Detailing : Lambchop Vs 1M

[lambchop]

Greetings All

No introduction needed for this car. Rowen got hold of me about 3 weeks ago as he wanted his car detailed and restored back to its former glory.
Needless to say I couldn't say no.. Iv detailed a few 135i's but this this car is beyond awesome - Is just plain mad when you look at it. Well done to Rowen for making this car look awesome without going over the top !!

So total time spent was 21 Hours . 19 hours was spent machine polishing the paint back to where it needed to be.

Products used -
Menzerna polishes
MF pads
LC pads
Wolfs Hard body LSP
Various cloths pads etc.
Wheel Wax
RUPES Bigfoot raise:

No Glazes or fillers were harmed during this detail :=):

Some before pics












Just for you Fraser
These Wheel Woolies are really amazing. They take the shape of the wheels and do a proper cleaning job.

Black is a bit of a love hate relationship
I love the reflections etc when its done
but I hate the amount of work needed to get to that level.

Black is actually quite easy to detail. The defects are easier to spot
but can cause a problem, the biggest issue on any car is dependent on the hardness of the paint. Thats normally the biggest issue especially if you don't have the correct equipment

Beaut of a car too.

Lovely work as always. Great to see proper 5050 and clarity shots.
Love the way the light is wrapping around the car.

Wow. I'm not going to say anything else. No need to.
You know how well you did there and I know how much work went into that.

Bought my woollies from Pravin already.

Excellent work, Lambchop! It's always more fun restoring a unique car like this to (better than) showroom condition. raise:

How is it possible to make a great car even better :inlove:

Just have one question for Rowen! Where are the Morr wheels!

To quote an old cheesy cliche : "Mirror finish" :fencelook:

[Fraser]

I've heard a runout that Lambchop just likes looking at himself a lot, thus the motivation behind his really good work.
Just a rumour mind you
