Shine On = VERY SHINY - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Palmnuts · 06-12-2009, 01:14 PM

I've just had Paul come and give my car the Shine-on treatment.

Took him and someone else the WHOLE DAY...that's right...TWO of them!!! My car was a state. He also did the black pillars roof of the Mini for gratis

OH MY GOD...you should see it!!! Flippin' brand spanking new or what

Ok, ok people...I get the hint!!!

I maybe should have waited until I actually took the photo's to write this thread but fear not...the eager wait is over

I have tried to capture just how deep a shine Paul has managed to achieve but regrettably I currently don't have any 'before' pictures. Paul did take some so once he emails them to me I will post them up too.

Before I had the detail, the car had just had the front bumper, rear bumper and lower side skirts re-sprayed - again, an excellent job by a company called Selby's in Nottingham who are my local Porsche approved body shop and came very highly recommended. For anyone in the East Midlands, I can thoroughly recommend them.

However, Paul really had trouble with this original parts of the car; the paint was very hard and he apparently took a fair bit of top-coat off to get this kind of finish. I can't stress enough just what a difference the result is......

Must look sick "in the flesh". Good work

M3-FAST · 06-14-2009, 05:40 AM

Looks excellent bud - very deep finish to the shine

E92Fan · 06-14-2009, 05:53 AM

That's a fabulous finish

Another great bit of work by Paul

Looks fantastic. Makes me want to get mine done before SW meet.

Thanks! Good of you to say so.

But I think thats just because I got the tyres shinier?? Anyway, the pictures did look good from when I first waxed it but what they didn't show was how bad the swirls were in sunlight. And now...they're just not there!

willhollin · 06-14-2009, 04:55 PM

Looks good mate!

You got rid of the tractor tyres off the rear I see?

PeteJ · 06-15-2009, 07:21 AM

Very very nice!!

Paul very rarely uses any tyre slick, unless the customer demands it. The reason is that the tyre shine stuff has a tendency to spray up onto the sides of the car, lower car does in particular, and makes a mess of the clean car...
