    m3 engine pics

    i detailed the engine only of a 98` bmw m3 yesterday. very cool car. i don`t know what was the best part, detailing it or getting to drive it around the building. of course to drive it around to the back of my place i had to go up the street and turn around

    Man that is sweet. How did you attach the three pics in a row? The other day it would only let me do one at a time.

    thanks, the engine was in pretty good shape, just really dusty. it took about two hours to get it looking like that. the car is great and the guy that owns is really cool as well. he`s a big time car fanatic.

    i just attached the pictures, not sure how i did it. i just individually inserted each one.

    wish I could check it out Tim as I`m sure you did an awesome job. Problem is I`m on dialup and waiting for the pics to load is sort of like watching grass grow.

    sorry natty, those are some big pics. i`ve had cable for so long i`ve gotten spoiled. i`ll reduce `em next time. hey we`ve had so much rain around here, you can actually see the grass growing, lol...

    hey tassadar. i just used a damp microfiber and stoners trim cleaner, since there is so much vinyl under the hood. i also used my steam shark. this thing works great for hard to reach areas under the hood. plus it doesn`t require getting the engine wet. bmws are notorious for moisture problems messing up the electronics, especially where the diagnostics hook up. then once i had everthing clean, i hit it with stoners trim shine. it looked good. i really could have spent anothet hour working on it but then i`m anal that way. the customer was very happy.

    here is the steam shark. excellent tool for detailing engines: steam shark

    thanks dean,
    yea i like stoner too. they`re kind of a no-nonsense detailing line. trim cleaner works great on vinyls. i`ve just started using the trim shine and i really like it. nice shine and no greasiness.
