Detailed: 2001 BMW 325i

My dad deserves everything and including a fully detailed car. He has only had it for a month or so and I could tell it desperately needed to be cleaned up. Didn’t get to do the interior, also have to do something about those moldings and get a few cosmetic items to make the exterior more cleaner.

Kudos to you on a great job. How much time spent polishing/waxing? I have a car that has swirls like that and would like an idea of how much time I am going to have in it.

Polishing takes the longest. I say it took a day, it took longer because I didn't use a yellow pad in the beginning. Total time one day and a half.

Thanks, good luck to ya.

hey good job man

hope your dad loves it!

Thanks! What's your next project?

Great transformation!

Cleaning up those moldings + front plate delete will be another nice change. Fortunately, it's pretty easy on the E46 body.

Looking good! Did you cover up the moldings so u didnt get wax on them?

Yep I have to get some sort of molding restorer like back to black.

Thanks, yeah thats apart of the prep its easier to do that than to try to get the wax off seals/molding and etc.

Car looks amazing man, stunning!

Fantastic work. The car looks infinitely better.

You do amazing work with a PC. Nice work and it's cool you did it for dad.
