Saving The Oxidized Paint On A BMW E46 Touring - Detailing Transformation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- I had been looking at the paint on this BMW E46 Touring for a few months but never realized how oxidized it was until I put a machine to the paint. Due to the light metallic colour it was very hard to express on film. But stay with me haha. This transformation was really satisfying and despite the few spots of rust I am happy with the way this car looks. Sit back and enjoy this auto detailing transformation, if you have any questions at all just drop them in the comments. Much love!

Great Work! Looking forward to you hitting 100k. I love the camera work and music.
Thanks man!! Hopefully we can get there!📈🖤
I'd like to see how you restore the Chrome Line. I could take inspiration.
I just figured out how to do the best haha. I’ll do it in a video soon
what a beast bro !
Thanks buddy!🥸😎
Always Nice 🤩🔥👌
Indonesia is Here 😄
Sorry Late
Haha no need to apologize! Much love man!
Are those lake country pads?
The colour of the car has grown over me, but I still do not like the front grille in black
I love the colour but also hate the grille. Save black grilles for modern cars
Awesome Job... Always Success
GREETING FROM 29AUTOCARE INDONESIA
Greetings from Canada! Thank you! Keep on smashing bro 💆♂️✔️
Ehh Bozzkuh kita ketemu kwkw
How long did this take (minus the filming)? I feel like polishing takes FOREVER and I’m always completely spent afterwards
Honestly I have no idea. Time isn’t a huge worry for me these days
@@ChromaticGarage Poetic
Bro i cant even begin to imagine how much work you put into these videos! Its just amazing! Keep it up Man!
Haha thank you for understanding Guto! It is quite a lot. I appreciate you!
you know, sometimes, like this morning, I get so carried away watching your videos that I forget to turn the volume down... and then my wife reminds me she has some students over :/
Also, how often do you swap pads out?
Hahaha amazing buddy. I appreciate you watching. I switch them out every panel or twice a panel if it’s large. This isn’t necessary it’s just easier if you already have a bunch of pads
@@ChromaticGarage thanks so much, appreciate it.
Oh yup, you did it again bro. Now let’s see the new touring on its special wheels ¿ 🤝
Thanks bro! Long ways to go before those wheels are on the car haha
Waited this evening, hoping you'd upload it before I went to bed, and turns out you did. Very nice video of getting down and dirty with an older car. I like that you show it is not perfect in the end, sometimes you have to lower your expectations a bit and settle far good instead of perfect, it's just real world right? Congratz on the 75K btw, they are well deserved!
Haha I’m glad I could come through, has some computer issues in the morning but made it work! And definitely, cars are for driving, this car is far from perfect haha. I’m just happy to make it look much better. Thanks buddy!
19:21 the problem is well known between e46 driverz.. 🥶😰
Btw nice edit 👍🏻😍
Thanks man! This car is definitely very bad the more you look at it hahaha
Awesome something good to watch tonight👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
Sounds like a plan Ken! Enjoy your weekend🥳
Finally my favourite guy uploaded! Awesome as always. Love the montage , frame and music ! Thanks for sharing with us this incredible job
Hahaha you’re the man. Thank you for for always watching, love you guys 🙏
Awesome amazing love it!! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy! :)
Nice result. I prefer real world cars being detailed than supercars. Real world cars have dings and imperfections.
Thanks man! I will throw some super cars in here and there but I want this channel to be focused on growing a collection of cars that we all enjoy!
Big fan of the e46 platform. Working with a sport sedan 325i right now and trying to figure out if I should restore the black trim or buy new. Thoughts? Awesome vid and clean looking car. Love it.
Thanks man! I guess it just depends how bad they are. Check out Gtechniq Permanent Trim Restorer
Perfect editing and music bro 👌
Thanks buddy! Wash a couple cars for me this weekend 😭🤝
Not perfect he says.. my man just blew a new life into a family car that highly likely will never look as good as it does now! I would love to tackle the hazy paint on my miata when i see this but i think i'll have to wait just a few more uploads to gain confidence/knowledge. Quick question, your last step was still a polish right? Shouldn't the paint be protected by a fresh layer of wax?
Hahaha thank you man! You should definitely tackle it. The last step I did was use a finishing sealant to polish and protect the paint in one step. At this point I don’t really need to refine the paint much after cutting so it’s just easier in cases like this to protect and polish at the same time
Love your videos man. I’m about to do my e46 convertible been putting it off for a while Gotta do a bunch of touch up paint first shits covered in rock chips. Also does griots finishing sealant not have a cure time before you wipe it off like other AIOs ?
Thanks man! Thats awesome, best of luck with the car. Its wild what touching up some chips can do to the look of a car. And too be honest I have no idea haha. I should read there label.
Content once again was amazing, but this time in digging the outfit... looking good
Haha thanks Mike!! Have an awesome weekend man!
@@ChromaticGarage you 2
Hello
Another great video, the result is excellent with good equipment and good products. I wish you a good day and a good week.
Bruno
Thank you so much Bruno! Have yourself an awesome weekend as well 🙏🤝
Sex is cool, but have you tried watching a Chromatic video? I love the way you detail, the music, your style.. it's iconic!
Hahaha hilarious. Thank you man, I appreciate that, ill keep it running!
Great job grinding away! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy!😎
Imagine after all that effort you go to supermarket parking and someone slam his stupid door in your car! What do you do?
Hahaha you buy another one and make more videos with it 😭
From Hazy to Glossy ~!! Yes Sir~! How do You like Boss Finishing Sealant? i have used the Fast Correcting and the the Perfecting cream , love the combo, still to try finishing sealant.
Thanks Dan! I really like the finishing sealant when the car doesn't really need a full polish after cutting. Lets you do two steps in one. Good protection too!
like everytime such a pleasure to watch your video keep going u r inspired us to our content cheers mates !!!
Heck yeah man! Keep pumping out videos you like. It will all be worth it. Much love 🖤
I thought its M539 Restoration's E46) but forgot u r in the US
Yeah silly North American cars haha
Just curious, but why go with a finishing sealant instead of ceramic coating 🤔
I’m just dumping this car to someone else soon. Sometimes coatings are a burden for people to take care of. Can end up making the vehicle worse than it needs to be
I loved this video but I'm so invested on the e36 at this point I'm here just for that... I PERSONALLY NEED UPDATES
Hahahaha bro i have been waiting for the bumpers for 6 weeks. I’m in the same boat as you 😭
@@ChromaticGarage I've been trying to find one 320i or 318i to buy that's in an okay condition so hard but nobody here has it in an okay condition, everything is rusted out or has a rod knock in it, and I don't wanna build a car that has no base..
love your videos. so satisfying, editing is amazing as well. i come home from detailing 10 hrs a day and watch detailing videos lol!
Haha I love to hear it man, thank you! Have a rad weekend!
Treat that rust spot to a little rust converter before it spreads, the car looks fantastic, the color is dreamy
Forsure man! I’m actually just getting ready to get rid of this wagon to make room for the new one. This one has a few too many problems for me to want to do anything to it
nice ! very good video .... well done again !!! ... ;) (love that bmw)
Thanks Gabriel! Hope you’re doing well buddy!
If I had a right to money I spend one billion hours on my house as 6 million dollars on my garage
Love to hear it man!
Hey chromatic you should give the turtlewax one and done compound a test drive. I can't tell you how amazing that stuff is. Just change your pad types to get an amazing finish
I would definitely be open to working with Turtle Wax but they have never reached out! Will have to wait and see
@@ChromaticGarage stop and pick yourself up a bottle I picked one up on Amazon for about 26 bucks it's very worth it.
Would love to be able to do what u do. Mesmerising content
I’m not special, you could, you should! Haha thank you though, I appreciate it 😀
Some what early gang💯🔥lol
Amazing video dawg! There’s just no more to say but keep up the great work and hope everything is going good!
Hahaha yessir! Thank you man, I’m glad you’re enjoying them. Hope you’re having a blessed week!
Much loved from Malaysia. Keep it up buddy. 🔥 wagonn. Superb results
Thanks Kerry! Big hugs from Canada!
Can you do AV video how to Polish a vehicle different types of polishing the how how do you tell how much for Force you need please
I probably won’t do a video on that. It’s too complex and different for each car. Just gotta try and figure out what works best for you
Can you do some GM vehicles Like paint correction on a 2006 Silverado
I see e46 I subscribe
I feel the same way most days haha
Nice one! Make sure to clean the arches from the inside, just grab behind them and get all the dirt out, use pressure wash, and seal it off with some fluid film. also take side skirts off and front wheel liner off, you wont believe the rust. Stop it while you can and put some fluid film on it before the car rusts through.
Hi bro 👋 I've been waiting for your video👍
What’s up man! Another one cooking up soon!
Are these $400+ Rupes machines really worth it? How are they so different from a random orbital DA?
Another great video always enjoy the uploads. Great transformation man have a great one!!
Thank you Drew! Have an awesome weekend 🙏🤝
Are you breaking that sealant down or just spreading on the lowest setting? 🧐
Breaking it down a lil! Using the minor abrasives to polish a lil while adding protection. The actual polymer won’t degrade by being worked in more
Cool, I appreciate it!
You’re one of the best guys doing this without trying to push products. I appreciate the videos!
always a great time watching your videos man keep it up!
Thank you bro! Glad you enjoy them. Keep on killing it out there!
Great detail as always 👍🔥🔥
Thanks man! Always down to polish an old bmw haha
Another great job!
How many pads do you use for 1 car ?
Usually one per panel and 2 for the hood and roof! Thanks man!
@@ChromaticGarage thanks budy !
Advice me, i need a nieuw compound but i hesitate between Griots / KochChemie / Carpro.
Take care 🙏🏻
Amazing work dude🙌🏼
Thanks Boss!😀
Nice work Homie! 👊🏼
Thanks Alfredo!🙏
Killer job. How you liking using that sealant/polish?
Thanks buddy! I love it, fast correcting cream finishes so well on most paints that you rarely need to polish, so being able to knock out protection at the same time as a minor polish is so nice. Also saves an hour or so if you’re getting paid for the job
@@ChromaticGarage think you have finally convinced me.
@@cleanwagen it also smells great if you’re into that kinda thing!
always eyegasmic man. what grit did you use on the first compounding
?
Paint perfection 👌
Thanks buddy!🤝
How many compounding and polishing pads did you use for the whole car?
Really awesome job on a great car! How long did it take you?
Thanks buddy! This just took me the better part of a day with filming.
Realy good work u deserve more.
Thank you Emir! Slowly but surely!
Nice as usual 👌 good luck bro
Thank you Kada!
Since I now have a garage with a floor lift this video inspires me to have a go at it again with paint correcting my car with a machine. Last time I did it I used the wrong compound (super dusty and dry) and it really put me off. My car was owned by an old couple, 10 years of automatic car washes and dealership washes, probably only had a few proper washes in its entire life until I got it, paint is severely swirled and scratched.
Will get some Griots products this time around and see what I can do. I'll use Aidan's discount code haha! Great work as always!
Heck yeah man! Use Aidan’s code, remove defects, repeat until you’re happy
Has to be one of my favourite combinations fcc and finishing sealant long working time and the sealant goes a long ways with a few drops awesome transformation.. Is that the lake country microfibre pads your using? Didn’t see them on your list. I use the uro 50/50 pads but they don’t last long anymore fall apart way to fast for my liking. 👏 great job. 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
Thank you Ken! Yup you nailed it, lake country microfibre cutting pads. I have never actually used the URO pads but i should probably try, so many friends enjoy them. Out of any microfibre pad I have used the lake country 100% lasts the longest. Griots ones are my favourite but the glue on the pad melts and I usually ruin them far too quickly for my liking
What is the best way to get rid of trees app that been sitton 4 years
Put some isopropyl alcohol on a microfibre towel! Towels everytime
Why on the being W the leather steering wheel is not Matt finnis
BBS rims will be great
Thanks Owen! Have a great weekend buddy!
Another amazing video. Thanks for making my day!!
I have a question for you. I worked on a old BMW similar to this and the previous detailer did a crappy job and got compound or polish all over the plastic trim. What’s the best way to remove that?
Thank you Devin! You’re awesome man. Honestly compound on trim is a tough thing to deal with. You can try isopropyl alcohol, it’s usually your best bet. If that doesn’t work I usually move to steam 🤍☺️🤷♂️
@@ChromaticGarage hmmm. Never would have thought of steam for removing the compound. The car I mentioned, IPA didn’t work at all. Next steam it is. Thanks.
@@devinhosbach4046 if nothing else just use it as a great point for said person not to use the other detailer haha
One of my favorites so far love it
Thanks man! That’s means a lot. Improvement is big on the list of things to do haha
@@ChromaticGarage I don’t see any need for improvement 😎
Great vid as always, really appreciate your work. With lots of admiration from South Africa.
Thank you Gideon! Much love from Canada!
This makes me so happy.
You make me happy everyday Alex!
How did you obtain a traffic light??
