2002 BMW 330D Detailed: my mate dave

[jonjay]

Tender love and care with a BMW 330D
-----

Mrs Dav3 purchased this 330D BMW for a stonking price. Mechanically sound but needing some TLC my mate Dav3 contacted me to see if I could help. I couldn’t have been happier to oblige.
Here is how the car turned up.

Detailers Notes
- Sometimes a day is not enough.
- Having extra pair of hands really helps!
- Snow foam actually freezes when its 0 degrees.

It was a pleasure to help mate and to watch you work your magic. Thanks for doing a top job even tho we bit off more than we could chew in 1 day. Oh thanks for the coffee and pizza's. When we get round to doing mine we'll have to use my garage as it's bit warmer

Snow foam actually freezes when its 0 degrees.

found this out when I did mine the other day, it froze on the ground and really looked like snow (hence the name)

great work chief

Cant believe you did this in the cold snap, must be very hard to clean properly in these kinds of conditions

Most welcome Dave really enjoyed it! Was pretty cold and yes we took on more than we could manage but we got there in the end. Glad the car is looking ace.

Yea it is quite demanding cleaning it when it so cold and water isn't drying up. We got there though
My new house will have a very nice garage thats for sure.
