Joyriide Detailed: Jet Black E90

JOYRIIDE1113 · 03-02-2008, 12:03 AM

This is a repeat for the customer. He got his car detailed and corrected, but has since done a bit of modding which has led to time in the shop, which has led to wash monkeys dancing on the paint, which led to me removing a bit of the marring and swirls it had in certain areas, along with a lot of light wash induced marring.

Customer gave the me the nod to let me know I could do what I want. We also decided to go with Zaino after the polishing was done, of which he supplied all the Zaino Products. Began work at 9:25am and finished @ 7:25pm exactly. Jet Black is not the kindest of paints and is definately one of the softest but most stubborn paints at the same time. There were a lot of RIDS (random isolated deep scratches) which would only lightly fade even with the heaviest of compounds and pads. No shame, the end results were amazing.

In this case I used a long spoked brushed to agitate and rinse the inner wheel. In some cases where the inside of the wheels is not visible and not accessible, I'll ignore it.

I occassionally remove the wheel if for some reason the inside is visible but not easily accesible for properly cleaning, this happens to me a lot with neglected wheels that have never had the inner part scrubbed.

I also remove the wheel if the owner specifically wants the insides of the wheels cleaned and sealed.

FotiosF90M5 · 03-02-2008, 08:37 PM

looks great as usual.

Wow, that is just gorgeous. Great looking car and an outstanding detail.

P8ntplayer · 03-03-2008, 11:02 AM

are those 2O" wheels

Ewing · 03-03-2008, 10:21 PM

19" Beyern Mesh 8.5" front and 9.5" rears on KDW's 235/35/19 FR 265/30/19 R. The offsets are very tame though, pretty much stock. I'm going with spacers this week. 5MM's up front and 12MM's in the back. Should be a HUGE visual improvement as the rears are VERY tucked in right now...

GAM3OVR85 · 03-03-2008, 11:06 PM

so shiny!!

328i · 03-04-2008, 12:30 AM

I can't stop staring at those wheels, they're just soo clean.

Not only does it look good in pics, it looks even better in person. My experience and trial and error have made me aware of the little things that really catch the eye. Things only the driver can notice after being in his car for a bit that make him think "wow, he even detailed "xxxx", nice."
