- Previously painted from it's previous owner, my car needed some work to really get the most from the paint, so I set out to fully restore it and bring out it's potential! It took me over 40hrs to complete from Washing, decontaminating, sanding, 3 stage buffing and waxing, and it was all worth it!✨👌😎
Watch and learn as I take you through step by step, all the way!
really underrated channel, i was surprised when i saw both the number of views and the subscribers on your channel. the production quality and all around feel of the video is very high tier. lovely car too good job.
Thanks mate! I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed it. Early days for the channel so we’ll see where it goes!
Extraordinary work. As an E46 owner myself, I was mesmerized watching this. It hit me hard seeing the views/sub count. You will be great soon, Brendan. Keep it up. Greetings from Poland! I'm subbed.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the support!💪🇳🇿 Greetings from New Zealand
My dream car with a dream level paint restoration. This video deserves more love.
@@kiyabcs 🫶 thanks mate! Appreciate the support! Glad you liked it!🔥👊
Looks unreal mate 👌🏼 that edit with the audio stopping when the headphones went on then music starts when you hit play 🔥
Thanks mate! Glad you liked it! Appreciate the support!👊
I was pleasantly surprised when you applied that traditional wax! In today's ceramic-dominated world, it's truly refreshing to see. Many overlook the subtle yet beautiful warm glow that soft waxes provide. It seems people are so focused on the super shine of ceramic coatings, akin to how gold diggers are drawn to big diamonds or insects to the luring light of bug zappers. Fantastic work! I'm sure it looks beautiful in person. Try not to look back at it so much when you walk away after parking, as it may induce neck discomfort!
Thanks mate! That warm glow is exactly what I wanted!👌😎 hahaha the neck discomfort is real!
Awesome job
Thank you 👊
Really love the e46 content again. Keep brining it I love the videos.
Cheers mate! Glad you’re enjoying it! More to come fore sure! 🔥
Really nice work. You even went to the wet sand level. Respect. How much time total was spent on this project. I would have guessed a week straight.
As much as I prefer some version of a graphine coating or SiO2 similar for a long-lasting final layer, it’s so hard to beat the deep gloss and showroom finish of a carnuba/wax. Came out really nice.
Hey! Thanks mate, glad you like it. Appreciate the support!
Time wise, man it was a lot! 😮💨 The buffing☠️ oh man, it killed me but the project took me over two months to complete on and off. Worth the time and effort. Yea, that wax was top notch too! That warm glow is exactly what I wanted and it really delivered!
Great job, P& S Bead maker is easier to apply than wax and similar results imo.
Good to know. I really just enjoy the process of wax and Beaut Beads was a dream to use compared to others I’ve used.
Great video brother
👊 thanks mate
Very nice..perfectionist..🇬🇧
Thank you!💪🇳🇿
God damn amazing job , ide be scared to ever wash the car again 😂
Thank you! Hahaha washing the car now is a breeze! The water just falls off!👌 so good!
Thanks for the support! 👊
Damm its beautiful.....
Nice work. That took a lot of elbow grease.
Thanks mate. Appreciate it! Yea, it did!😅
Beautiful work ! I want to do the same process to my E46 but clear coat has failed on the roof/hood/trunk so I need a repaint first...
Thanks mate! Oh dang! At least it’s a straight forward fix! Keep grinding mate, it’ll happen!💪
If you’re using sand paper I believe you can basically skip the bug remover along with the clay at.
Yep, that’s correct but in this instance I wanted to make sure I did every area possible as didn’t know what areas I was going to sand until I got to it so I wanted to cover my bases so I knew I gave it the best process I could for the areas that weren’t sanded to be buffed and also the wax to bond perfectly
Bowdens Nano Wash …best car wash I’ve used.
IYKYK👌✨
3:30 I should call him
very nice work, considering that you only used a rotary machine and wool pads and no holograms remained in the paint
@@alkaadeluxxalkaa3724 thanks mate. The two stages after wool with the microfibre pads helped make it pop!👌
The last good 3 serie model make by BMW
Solid paint correction - Really enjoyed the camera work and production too. I've paint corrected many cars and know how much it takes out of you and I'm glad you did it to this beautiful M3. Recognised those Repco bucket stickers and grit guards too... bargain! 😉
Thanks mate! Appreciate that and the support! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hahaha yea man, classic Repco goodies lol
Could have lifted door handle & cleaned under them & turned the wing mirrors to get inside them better. Don't believe you can only use a 6" & 5" pad? Tooth pickery for the final job would make it even better! Can't beat a proper wax as opposed to a ceramic etc world these days
Have no fear mate, there was a lot of things I did that I didn’t add in the film like the handles and wing mirrors, also removed all the mouldings, rear tail lights and dismantled the guard grills and restored each blade individually. It was a lot!😮💨🫠 worth it though. Yea love the warm glow of a wax👌
All the work of wet sanding only to put a wax on the paint, such a shame not to PPF the entire car to protect all that work that was done. A single stage polish would have saved so much more material on the paint and has 85% of the effect. Nice work though =)
I see and understand your points but I disagree in this instance because the paint isn’t good enough to spend thousands on PPF, if it was freshly resprayed and perfect, 100% but it’s got scratches and stone chips all over it. I also tried waxing, yes it was shiny but I didn’t like the finish of the clear. It was grainy and I knew it had more to give, hence the process.
@@brendan.holt_ Respect for the work, and for using a rotary for the whole process ;)
Yea, lol it was a lot😮💨
PPF to ruin later the clear coat?
That ppf will sonetime have his time over. You can’t keep that for ever so whats the Point. When removing you also can damage the clear coat
@CyberdyneSystemsModel101 I’m not sure I understand your comment sorry? Are you suggesting I should have PPF’d it instead?
what made you go with a wax instead of a ceramic?
Hey! Good question. I certainly considered it, but chose wax for three reasons
1. From my understanding consumer level ceramics coatings (cc) aren’t as good as pro level ones, but with pro level you need heat lamps to cure it which I don’t have.
2. I’ve never applied CC before.
3. And the main reason is wanted the nice warm glow that wax gives over the cool glow of CC.
I know CC def has its place and it’s amazing but in this instance the positives of wax outweighed the negatives for me
Great video. But lets be honest the real star is the pup.😍
Hahaha Indeed! Charlie’s her name. She’s awesome
I felt bad he always came near the car with all the chemicals beeing sprayed

Beautiful!
Thanks Frank
Sick, just sick. 10/10
👊 thanks
My shoulders already sore just watching him lol but actually they are 😂..I've been busy with some details myself
The pain is real hahaha good luck with yours! 👊💪 Thanks for the support
Did you consider using a high quality ceramic coating ? The good one's offer 5-8 years of protection, and superior gloss.

I would panic when the car was dry after wet sanding lol, it’s always so shocking and bad looking.
Hahaha yea the panic is real aye! it’s risky business! Just gotta trust the process and hope it comes up 😅😮💨
Poor doggy sniffin all those chemicals 😂😂😂

You did a great job btw
Amazing transformation 🇬🇧
Awesome work. Amazing detailing and video editing. Keep it up and what u love
Thank you!. Glad you liked it!I appreciate the support
I was wondering, is there no clear coat now? Great job btw
Yea, they’re can’t be much left now😅 it’s a risky move but if you can do it without rubbing through the results are awesome!
Thanks for the support!👊
What a beautiful car and good job!
Thanks mate
i respect you
👊
Stunning work 👌
Thank you
Great video 🔥🔥
Thanks Christian!👊
Ya missed a spot 🤓
Need to go to Spec Savers 🥸
Good effort!!!…Decent gloss on that!👌
Personally after all that I’d have put a ceramic coating on instead of a wax but each their own I guess!
Thanks mate! Yea I seriously considered it, but prefer the warm glow of the wax. Don’t mind the process either
