04 SE Detailed!

So I finally put my Portal Cable 7424XP orbital polisher to work this weekend. Spent about 13 hours working on getting her clean.

I used a combination of Menzerna Intensive polish, final polish, glaze, and mothers pure canuba wax. The photos are taken with a Canon 50D. I'm VERY happy with how things turned out for a first time detail job

The car looks almost as good as new finally!

Oh, I will shamelessly include two pictures of my other ride too.

Cheers,

Ming

Thanks for the complements! It took a long time for both cars, but totally worth it in the end

The Maxima unfortunately has been relegated to long trip/biking car. So I will just be doing the maintenance on it as required. I may look into a super charger for the M3 some time next year

heheh. Thanks The color did grow on me in a bit. I'm in Chatham now, but used to be in Hamilton. I think I've seen 3 other cars in the same colour since I've bought mine. So it's really rare considering it's been 4 years

Very nice job and a rare color too. I believe it's called Radiant Ember, one of the early colors of the 6th gen. I think they only offered it for one year and it wasn't very popular. I believe I have only seen 5 on the road in this color over the last few years. Hey I see you have Continental tires. I am curious what model are they? All I could see in the photos is the reading Continental.

Definitely mod the m3. My boys got an 04, their really fast stock and he just put headers on it. His car owns every time and it sounds ridiculous.
