new LCI tails + detailing!

[joneffingvo]

I picked up my M3 last sunday (first full week of owning it) and coming from a 335is i knew i had to get the LCI tails. So i ordered a set as well as LUX v5 ae and install those bad boys. Woke up early yesterday morning and detailed the car for 5 hours! Here are some pics:




Here are the finished results!







All done with Adam's Polishes products

Car looks great, congrats on the upgrade! I'm looking at doing the same, how do you like the M compared to your 335is?

foam cannon?! i am going to have to invest in one. car looks immaculate! congrats on your M!

[roastbeef]

what is your foam setup? are you using a pressure washer or a traditional hose setup?

[BimmerRookie]

I thought with a foam gun you can use a regular hose, however with a foam cannon, it's usually indicative of the use of a pressure washer for power.

You are correct! with foam guns you hook it up with just a regular hose and with foam cannons you need a water pressure for it to create the snow effect.

Awesome work.

Is that water spots on the front bumper or stone chips? If stone chips, Dr. Colorchip would probably make them less noticeable if you don't plan on doing a respray.

I wish those were water spots... lol the front end of this car is rock/stone chipped to hell! I'll probably look into getting the hood/front bumper resprayed soon.
