Spending About 40 Hours To Aesthetically Save An Alpine White BMW E36
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
SHOP CHROMATIC MERCH: www.chromaticgarage.com
White car, white floor, white pants, and my first time recording in Slog3. That is not a great recipe, but a recipe nonetheless. In this video I spend about 40 hours detailing a friends Alpine White BMW E36. The car is M42 powered and comes fitted with the factory installed Aerodynamikpaket body kit and colour matched trims, real big DTM things. I found the transformation on this car extremely difficult to document due to the colour, but when it arrived I assure you it looked like it was made out of chalk and dirt, which we love. Very happy to breath some life into this rad car in hopes that the owner can enjoy it for years to come!

The videography on these videos is insane. When I'm trying to film myself doing detailing I rage quit couple of hours in because I realized I spend too much time on it because it takes me 3 times longer to do everything. So not only is the attention to detail high, but you also go the extra mile to film everything from different angles. You have the patience of a god, and I can only salute you
BMW should start paying you to keep all these classics looking mint. Thoroughly amazing job, as usual.

For future reference, Clutch should be applied like a traditional ceramic coating with a microfiber applicator pad. It likes to sit and “frame up.” The longer it sits prior to removal, the longer it’ll last and it’s actually easier to remove. It wasn’t formulated and designed to be used as a “quick detailer” type of product. Same kind of thing with Burnout. Using Burnout during your second polishing step is a slick move and I do it frequently. Sometimes I’ll even split it 50/50 with Slick Back. It has the same diminishing abrasive as Classic Cut, but has a hint of Si02, making it a great buffing liquid to prime the surface prior to coating. When using Burnout, Slick Back, or both, depending on the size of the vehicle, I won’t wipe off the residue right away, but let it sit and let the Si02 “set up.” On a coupe or average size car, I’ll go around the entire vehicle, then wipe off. Something bigger like a truck or SUV, I’ll usually do about half then wipe off… Just advice from one detailer to another. Love the videography and editing. Killer work as always!
