Oakes - Detailed: Pair of BMW M3's

[Oakes]

Recently completed a pair of E9x platform M3's. Combined the two in one write up to share with you all! Their descriptions are with their groups of photos. Check em out!!

2008 BMW Alpine White Coupe

A supercharged, Alpine white on Novilla Red M3 Coupe came to me after sitting outside for most of this brutal northeast winter. It will be receiving a full correction in the spring months, but this detail was done to get this vehicle clean and protected again, and it sure needed it! Putting 500+ whp, it needed to look as good as it goes!

2009 Black M3 Convertible

This vehicle came to me as a new purchase and was "Clean" from delivery. However it was in need of a proper correction and damaged/faded clear bra removal as you will see in the pics. This M3 Hardtop convertible was looking above standard after it was properly detailed and "brought back to life." In it's new owner hands, I dont see this vehicle ever approaching that condition again!

nice work! That white bimmer is sweet!

[Oakes]

Thank you and yes it is!

[taholman]

mmmmmmmmm, M's

[FastZR1]

Very nice. Love them M3s too.

[MaximumMD]

What is the purpose of that IronX stuff you used on the white m3?

[Oakes]

Thank you! This body style M3 just might be my favorite so far!

The IronX safely breaks down and removes metal and other heavy particulate fallout on the paint and wheels that a Clay bar - without being too aggressive grade - can't easily remove.

As always, really nice job on the cars!

[Oakes]

Thank you Reality!!
