I bet having a camera like that makes anybody's car that much better!

remmib · 06-20-2015, 11:53 AM

I cleaned the engine a little while ago, and snaped a few pics after wasing the wheels.

Bbb34 · 06-20-2015, 01:15 PM

Came across this thread several times in the past, that's indeed a great looking car

clean and classy. Amazing photos too.

Nice job remmib!

Did u have to cover anything in the engine bay when u sprayed it? Did u use an engine cleaning spray or engine degreaser?

No, didn't cover anything. I used the Meguiar's engine cleaner and engine dressing for this, but I guess you can use many kinds of all purpose cleaners or degreasers for this.

Yes. In short spray on cleaner, use a brush to loosen the dirt, and use the water hose to rinse off. Spray in dressing for a nice shine.
And there's lots of videos on youtube.

jasonle89 · 06-20-2015, 08:10 PM

oh..i thought water isn't suppose to be in there

lsturbointeg · 06-20-2015, 08:32 PM

In my Integra I had to cover the alternator... everything else I could just spray down with water after the degreaser sat. Wasn't to sure if u could do that with the BMW. So I guess it should be fine since remmib didn't say anything needs to be covered

remmib · 06-26-2015, 05:44 PM

Just one pic from today since the car was newly washed.

lsturbointeg · 06-26-2015, 06:43 PM

Gorgeous!

and even better because there's a McDonald's in the background and now I'm hungry Thanks!

BMogul · 06-28-2015, 11:03 AM

Looks awesome! Can I ask where you got the front spoiler lip and rear diffuser from?

Thanks

Since I'm in Norway, Europe, I got the 3D Design lip from Baan Velgen in Nederland. You might check out IND for that in the US.

The rear diffuser is OEM from BMW, and I got it from my dealer. You can get it from anybody selling BMW parts.

Great job brotha u should use some Cquartz DLux on those plastics you would be surprise how else it would be to maintain that new plastic look,feel, and how easy to keep it clean..... and its not greasy at all. @[remmib]

On any plastics or specifically the engine area?

newstuart · 06-29-2015, 02:08 AM

Perfect and just how an F10 should look. Just purchased a 2011 AW 520 m sport (after having a black one for 3 years as a company car in last job). If mine ends up looking anywhere near as good as this ill be happy

Aiden.Detailing · 06-29-2015, 04:43 PM

lsturbointeg on all plastics and rubbers as wheel as rims/tire. I applied Cquartz Dlux on a Ford Raptor I detailed about 3 close to 4 weeks ago and I used on the all-terrain tires Cquartz DLux. I can post pics tomorrow on how its holding up.

lsturbointeg Yes it works on all plastics/rubbers trims as well as Rims/Tires. I applied some on a Ford Raptors all terrain tires I detailed about 3-4 weeks ago. I can post pics tomorrow on how they are holding up.

As far as I know, yes. Have you seen this thread about it?

Alan I. did it both on his 535ix pre-LCI and 550i LCI.
