Smoke Detailed - 1991 BMW M5

I worked on this car a few months ago, one of my most enjoyable details I've done so far. I didnt use a rotary at the time I did this one so paint correction took quite a while but the finish was worth it.





The after




Owners 2001 + 1991

The wheels were designed to scoop air in at high speed to blast the brakes with cool air

You tape weird.

Anyway, you should also remove the hub caps on the E34's, there is a very nice 5 star wheel under there.

Be careful with the magic eraser, it's a chemical cleaner, & can strip the color.

Thank you.

And I am always cautious when using the magic eraser. I never use it dry either, on that M5's door panel I sprayed 1Z Plastik Reinger (heavy duty plastic cleaner) and then lightly agitated it with the eraser to remove the scuffs.

Thank you. this was the owners first "luxury/performance" car and he hasn't let anyone but himself detail since he bought it. But it needed quite a bit of work and he didnt have the time to do it properly so he gave me a call. Turned out to be a good relationship. This M5 is a timeless car!

Stunning rare gem. Absolutely stunning. I may have missed this, but what did you use on the door handles?
