Yeah Shane, the owner was waiting a long time for something like this to show up, manual 325 vert with low miles.
Love working on stuff like this, this for me is what detailing is about, restoring old paintwork to a standard above what most consider "clean" or "mint"
I don't need to be working on Ferrari's or Porsche to get the kick from it when its all done :cool: :cool:

Great thread Chris, reall enjoy seeing the transformation.
Not easy to make sure you're taking photos as you go either
RE: 1987 e30 Enhancement Detail 21k (pic Heavy)
Beautiful job, would imagine it's rasied the value of the car quite a bit.

Thanks Brian, I think your right, especially with a car of this era and mileage it would for sure, most other jobs on newer cars would make them easier to sell and add a small value on top of paying for the job :)

Have to agree with Don, taking the pics could be a bit of a pain at times but then again it may be helpful in a range of other ways such as companies previous work, detailed description of how you approached it, improve photography skill and also prove as a bit of insperation for the rest off us to get off our asses (me included :tounge:)
Very nice work as always Chris, detail just added the final finishing touch to a very nice car

Sometimes its also hard when you present a customer with a car to explain all the work done and time spent on the car, also the difference in the paintwork.
Nice to get feedback too, but also it might introduce more people to detailing and what it is, Ireland is well behind when it comes to it hence the lack of full time detailers.
I hope from the past couple of years between here and other sites by posting these threads its opened lads eyes up and made them be more aware of how to wash their cars, look after their paint by seen the damage it can do and maybe even get into detailing :)

Absolutely amazing job!! Looks immaculate after! Three questions:
1. How much does that time and treatment cost?
2. What did you use to sort out the pitting in the chrome bits?
and 3. When can you fit me in?!!!!
