White M3 Cab | Just a few Random Shots fresh off of a Detail

Captain Slow · 01-22-2009, 09:40 AM

Just a couple pics, weather has not been cooperative in letting my brother take some good shots of the car, but here are some random ones.

In the garage after a great detail by Raja, definitely recommended

Requisite m3 badge shot

Rolling shot at night

Just a shot showing what a difference painted reflectors make, thanks Nate@IND for the fast service

that's a nice detail job. Must take a long time. Takes me about 3hrs for wash/wax/detail. Not much fun in the cold

nice rolling shot

Captain Slow · 01-27-2009, 09:17 PM

Actually, there's a lot wrong with a touchless car wash. Both soft cloth and touchless are bad because of the harsh industrial soaps used, but if I had to choose one, I'd choose the soft cloth.

You see the touchless car washes rely on their high powered water jet sprayers to dig deep into your cars paint surface to remove dirt. These jets move in a pivoting or circular motion, thus causing swirl marks.

Soft cloth, though not the best for your paint either, just gently brushes up against your paint to remove dirt and the jets go back and forth instead of pivoting or circular.

on all accounts, but for me, the biggest problem is the soaps and liquid waxes they use.

Some of the soaps used in car washes are like your industrial grade diswashing soap that can pretty much strip a car of its wax and polishes, and the liquid waxes they use are
