Stu gave us a ring and asked for his new toy to be cleaned, so this morning we turned up at MSD to find what was a really nice M5 and wasnt that bad to start off with, the leather was a little dirty and it stank of cigarettes, the whole car was covered in road tar aswell.

set off to work on it firstly going round the car with traffic film remover under the bonnet (which was particularly dirty and had the usual bmw glue runs ) then the wheels and arches, ander the skirts, and in all door edges, hinges, and boot edge.



No wheel acid was used on the wheels due to the "shadow chrome" paint finish on them.


We then washed the car using diamondbrite car shampoo with a lambswool mitt, and then chamois leathered the car with two leathers, one for bodywork, one for door edges and wheels.



i then used tar and glue remover under the bonnet to remove the gunk and grime that had collected under there.

i had to clay the rear bumper as there were a lot of deposits of tar there, everything came off and the glass type finish was achieved



all the leather was cleaned with diamondbrite upholstery cleaner, and the interior was detailed, sorry for the lack and the quality of the pictures, we had a lot to do in a small time plus my phone battery was dying

the end result:




We also did kenny's Focus ST:





and then my battery died

had a good time there, nice lads, cheers for the brews stu!

and to the owner of this:



this is a true credit to you mate, love it

Dicko Pete's a nutcase I've no chance of catching him

 

Great results

But every one can see its a Beemer so why the plate !!!

 

dunno ask stu

 

The boys did an EXCELLENT job of the car. Firsdt time ive ever used a valeter to be honest, and i was sceptical, but now im happy.


I bought the plate with the car as an investment and one which has paid off nicely as i just got my valuation back... Its doesnt JUST say BMW if you read it right...

 

MR BMW

 

MR BMW ?????

 

Out of interest, how much would that cost to have done? Not for my escos, but i have a different car in mind.

Nice car by the way.

 

And teh plates he gave me with the car said just that. No way i would get away with driving round here with them on though. Doh.

 

Are you going to rempap it or anything Stu? It looks lovely.

 

Naturally she will get a remap to free up another 25bhp or so on super+ and remove the limiter, and i may have a tweak of the gear maps to release some more power in 2nd, as i recall the map only allows full power in 3rd onwards... Sensible air filters and bushes are on the way as are some better pads for the brakes.

Ring Trip 4 weeks away.

 

errr put me down for a passenger ride gary !!

from the pf meet to redcar should be about long enough lol


whats it knocking out now then ?

 

Fantastic. Can I ask, has Comdey Dan's been remapped? When I was out in an M5 I was told if you go past the speed limiter in 5th you can then change to 6th and carry on going. Might be true, I assume so as the owner new his stuff.

 

JAMMIE GIT

Unfortunately not Stu, Loader has to get back, wish we were though matey!

 

Tell him to pull a sicky, grab a travel inn for Ł25 Each and we will pop into town for a few beers.

 

We'll gang up on him in the morning then mate!

 

Go for it, i will take you to where Dan works as a Dj, you will like it there...
Then we could pop into Syndicate for a beer and a dance.

 

I've been in Syndicate about 5 years ago now!

I'll have to get Loader to bring some good clothes!

 

All changed hands now, far better club than it was. better run, better security and no queing as dan and I have Directors cards to walk right in for free anytime.

Anyway, bedtime for me as got a long day of work ahead before i get out for a beer tomorrow night.
