BMW 850i Black Souveran

**HighEndDetail** · 05-07-2007, 10:05 PM

I received this client about a year ago, on another board.

This 1991 BMW is a 850i six speed manual, with a big 12 cylinder under the hood.
It get's a bath about once a month. Back in Feb. I spent about 5 hours cleaning off the Cosmoline on the engine.
I gave it a bath on wensday, and parked it in the garage. I came back on saturday to get it ready for a photo shoot.

Wash
Optimum car wash. For the tires I used the 16"Deep Reach Wire Wheel Brushes
and a wheel brush.

The Gameplan
This beauty was a single stage paint. The front end was repaint at one point and is clear coated. And I had to be carefull of the trunk, since the detailer before me rubbed too much paint off.

I clayed the car, then I used a edge white pad and PB PwS. I think the speed was set at 4. So to save the paint. Then I put Pinnacle Souveran paste wax on, one panel at a time.

Tires
Received Pinnacle black onyx tire gel.

Interior
All the panels received DP Interior Surface Protectant. The leather received brand z

Superb! That's one classic BMW customer you don't want to lose. I trully believe that 8-series is one of the best cars BMW ever created. I think it was the first car, that in 1991 had a two-zone climate control.
12-cylinders+manula transmition!!!

I hope that car has traction control.

Holy expletive! That is a beautiful job you did on such a beautiful car! I can tell the owner's an enthusiast what with the aftermarket exhaust and the ULTRA rare 6 speed manual on that car, I'd bet 80+% had autos. Amazing work!
