Weekend restoration :) Pic heavy!



  M140i
Due to working full time, also running a business and raising a family, the car unfortuantely has taken second place for a loooooooong time. Finally found a weekend to myself where I could lovingly pamper her back to health :)

Had around 9 dents all over the car which I had removed today by the funniest guy I've met in a while!! Also sprayed my centre cap diamonds as they were in poor condition. Also due to the calipers now being black(meant to be red lol) and the rears silver, gave them some hammerite love :)

Took a nice drive at sunset, music up windows down, good times!

Before, disgraceful!

snow foam, dug the old porter cable out, gave her a good dose of megs#80, megs#83. NXT Tech Wax, then a top layer of P21s, happy with the results!

Center caps were a mess, oxidised, tried polishing out but not successfull, so went to Halfords for Sandpaper, primer, rover stone grey and lacquer, first attempt at spraying external stuff, quite chuffed with myself :)
