So i did the three step detail on ‘Rolf’ last year (cleaner, glaze and wax), but never took any pics.
Then came winter.
Decided to do a full rinse to get all the salt off, a careful wash......what the heck, throw on some wax.

OK so it’s dark out, lets try and find some better lighting.

Bavarian flag :p

I think the is had body coloured skirts. 5-spoke wheels look so much better on the E36 than the E34...

Eh...........bite me. *smirk*
My preference is for painted too, that said the car is near mint.
It won’t increase hp, sharpen turn in, save any weight and too expensive to do it right, recoup at the other end. For that kinda money i should get the rear subframe reinforcements welded in, or pop on an LSD, or do all the rear bushings.

Also it kinda goes with the lightweight stripper feel of the car, cloth-manual seats, no armrests front or back. Nothing but the go fast parts; M50, stick, Supersprint, Konis, and a lot of little M bits.

If i come into alot of extra cash i might consider it, along with some touch up work to bring the car exterior to 9-10/10.
A 7-8/10 car for just a wash wax.....gotta love it.
