M0nk3y Detailed: 2007 Z4 M Coupe

[M0nk3y]

Well, it's about time :excited:

Car has been severely neglected from any proper washing technique. There was holograms all over the car, not to mention the PO had a clear bra installed and the installer actually cut the clear bra on the car, and CUT INTO THE PAINT!!!

Needless to say, I had my work up for me. I wasn't going for 100% correction, because with the amount of damage done, I knew it was going to be too much time, I looked at around 90-95%.

Beautiful car!

You did a fantastic job on it.

[Marc08EX]

Amazing correction work and detail! Thanks for sharing

The red paint is looking nice. I love red paint!

Nice save! Can't believe that dude used a razor on the paint. What a moron

I like your flooring. No need for a drain with a set-up like that :dblthumb2:

Thanks everyone so far! It's a car dream come true..bought her last year!

As for the drain...:p

Dad had a drain in the garage before the flooring went in. It is a bit rough on the knees, but it's something that wasn't designed around me ;)

That is a sweet looking car! You sure did make it glow. :dblthumb2:

[SkateForGirl]

Awesome car/color. You made that car look perfect.

[NoleFan]

Wow, BEAUTIFUL car! That missing cover below the headlight would drive me nuts. You did a great job!

It's been driving me nuts. When the car was delivered last year...it was dented and damaged. Car had to keep on going back to the body shop because they kept on screwing something else up...

They said they broke that headlight washer cap and said they replaced it...but I was drying off the car and it just fell off. Of course, they just rigged it to stay on. Needless to say, I called and a new one is coming in as we speak!

Thanks guys :)

Needless to say I will never be able to afford a car that washes its own headlights :laughing:
