Title: Deep Gloss Auto Salon: BMW M3 in Dakar Yellow - Detailed Post by: Deep Gloss on February 21, 2009, 05:35:18 PM Deep Gloss Auto Salon
BMW M3 in Dakar Yellow This vehicle belongs to one of my regular clients.. This is his fun toy for summer cruising. For those not familiar with this "Dakar Yellow" I will add that it is not a really bright vibrant yellow, it is almots muted which when the clear coat is not level is impacted and makes it looks almost oxidized Exterior Cleanse: Optimum No Rinse Wash Grout Sponge Surf City Beyond Steel 5 Gal bucket with water and Meg’s gold class for tires and to dip wheel brushes in Riccardo Clay Gray Clay ( eBay) Optimum No Rinse Clay Lube Surf City Clearly Better Glass Cleaner Exterior trim cleaned with Eshine all purpose cleaner (this stuff is AWESOME!!) Looks pretty clean huh? (http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn29/Deep_Gloss_Auto_Salon/BMW%20M3%20Dakar%20Yellow/100_6305.jpg) Not!

I have been very happy with it as has another detailer that purchased on after seeing me use it. |
