Swissvax'ed: New 2011 Melbourne Red BMW E92 M3 ZCP

ScheerSpeed · 04-12-2011, 12:32 PM

This detail was a new car prep for a week-old Melbourne Red E92 M3 Competition Package. The owner picked the car up from the dealer and was not happy at all with all the swirl marks left from the "new car prep" at the dealer.

The owner wanted to get the car looking like it should have the day he picked it up, and with a coat of Swissvax on the paint. This car required Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Strong on the hood and trunk, and got a single stage polish on the rest of the car with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional and a Swissvax FINE Pad. The car was then finished off with Swissvax Blau-Weiss.

We did not do any work to the interior or engine bay.

The car was dropped off around 8am and finished around 6pm.

Products Used:

-Swissvax Car Bath
-Swissvax Paint Rubber (Green)
-Swissvax Seal Feed
-Swissvax Protecton
-Swissvax Quick Finish
-Swissvax Nano Express
-Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Strong w/ Orange Swissvax pad
-Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional w/ Swissvax Fine pad
-FESTOOL Shinex RAP150 Rotary
-Swissvax Blau-Weiss BMW Wax
-rain-x
-Sonax Full Effect
-1Z Glass Cleaner
-1Z Rubber Care (Tires)

and some more...

Now onto the before pictures...

The owner had washed the car a few days before bringing it to me, so it was not so dirty to begin with...

even a new car needs to be clayed! this shot is after doing 1/2 of the carbon fiber roof.

And the finished pictures!

remember, no work was done to the interior, but it was worthy of a picture...

and new stickers for Swissvax Customers!

That's all for that one,

Thanks for looking!

Wow very clean car man. I just waxed mine the other day using the Meguire's ultimate setup(wash, claybar, polish, wax) but I have to say the product that was used did a great job.

Marvelous color.

I'd be pretty pissed to have that sticker on my door jam.

It will come off no damage. At the cost of Swissvax I guess it's their way of insuring no one removes or compromises it.

Dan_Q · 04-14-2011, 06:25 PM

That color is absolutely fantastic

And it goes without saying that car is fantastic as well

When I hit the lotto I'm going to buy one in that color to drive on Mondays

I always ask the customer permission to place the sticker in the door jam. It's so Dealerships, bodyshops, etc don't ruin the Swissvax treatment by "detailing" the car themselves.

BEAUTIFUL!

I love the picture of the warning of not washing the car without notifiying the owner.

Very nice, gorgeous car! Like the Swissvax sticker too..

Park2670 · 05-08-2011, 05:57 PM

I think its the perfect color for the M3. Especially with the carbon treatments.
