Hi all!
It has been sometime since I have posted by I recently acquired a 2003 Phoenix Yellow BMW E46 M3 that has a heck of a solid base but some minor issues here and there. Aesthetically the car has typical wear and tear of a 12 year old BMW but it is nothing I haven't tackled with clients cars in the past and expect from an exterior paint/interior standpoint it can and will be brought back to showroom condition.
The problem I have unfortunately is the rims. I have NEVER came across a set of rims on any car this trashed in my 10 plus years of detailing. Based on observations it looks as this may be paint/road tar mixed with oxidization. The question I have is has anyone came across a set of M3 rims of this style in similar shape and if so how did you tackle it? Are these rims salvageable? Or am I best to just break out the sandpaper and slowly work my way to polishing back to a new finish? I have attached three photos, one of the front, one of the rear, and a close up of what seems to be all over each wheel.
