    BMW E60 530. full correction inc. alloy wheel repair/suspension repaint

    Hello all and I hope you all had a great Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year. Well here it is the first write up of 2013.

    You might need a cup of tea/coffe for this one as its a biggie. sorry about the number of pictures but was just a lot going on with this detail.

    The car in question is a 2008 BMW E60 530d that is owned by a good friend of mine. The car has been used for a few years now as the kiddy bus and general daily hack. The car was in need of a good detail as he is thinking of selling it for a newer model..
    When the car arrived it was generally in good condition, covered in road grime no obvious signs of any protection and the interior had a far bit of sawdust as he has a business manufacturing timber products. The wheels also had a few kerb marks that he was looking to have removed but did not want to go to the expense of a refurb so these repairs will be carried out in house. On inspection the rear bumper had seen a bit of a repair that needed a tidy up and there were signs of previous machine polishing in the form of buffer trails over the entire car and a strike through just above the rear tail light. Again these would be repaired during the course of the detail.

    If you would like to see the full write up on this then check teh link out for the full write up!

    Little tip for felted wheel well, soft brushes cannot clean deep into the fibres very well. A super stiff bristle can do an incredible job.

    Other than that great turn around!!
