E92 M3 'refresher' thread

Yeah, nothing over the size of a R5 coin I believe. After that it becomes super difficult.

I've been putting off cleaning the rear wheel wells and underside for a while now. This morning I decided it's probably time to get this over and done with.

This is the stuff I used, it's fantastic with minimal agitation required to get excellent results. As I mentioned before, this stuff is pretty corrosive so don't let it dwell too long



This is what I was faced with when I took the rear inner linings out





Notice that you can't see the alu struts and arms. Now see what it looks like with minimal effort. I'd guess I spent 15mins max on a side





Inner lining back again and a little AF Dressle just to make it pretty



I also tackled the underside of the car and gave it a real good clean. Again, no agitation was needed, just a 3 minute dwell and the HP cleaner.



Finally, I used a sealer on the mags to make them easier to clean in future.

Where is that cleaner available from?

Really clean rear

Some nutcase out on the farms here that brews the stuff. I think he uses his own product so prolly ended up with this concoction by accident.

I see someone put a web shop up, but I got it at the local Midas. I believe it's only doing the rounds in the East Rand for now so best to get it online.

[Ratslaaf]

Hehe,

I'm enjoying the car a little for a change. Lotsa stuff to still do but it's a point now where I'm happier with it.

But fear not, as I get a little time I'll still be updating this thread
