The C4S was with us for 7 days in total, seeing a massive transformation to the exterior and chassis.

Upon inspection after a thorough safewash and decontamination to reveal the paintworks true form it was obvious that it had seen better days with an array of deep scratches and marks left by previous owners with less than ideal wash methods, the first 4 days and nights with a approximately 60 hours of work was spent machine polishing out these defects to bring the gloss and clarity back.

Along with the paintwork, the wheel arches and chassis needed a refresh. The wheels were removed, deep cleaned and machine polished while the brake calipers which were once faded to pink, were sanded down, primed and then painted iconic Porsche “Guards Red” with brand new lettering applied before being finished with high temperature lacquer. The plastic wheel arches were sent away to get some cracks repaired and the brake disc centres were painted silver, once this was all completed every component within the wheel arches was protected with the relevant ceramic coating or sealant to provide easy maintenance and further corrosion resistance.

Often compared to the iconic E30 M3, the M2 is the smallest and arguably the most capable M car BMW have recently made, with even more focus with the competion package. The car received our new car protection package to the chassis, wheel arches and paintwork. With the main dealers told not to wash the vehicle it was relatively perfect, a thorough safewash and decontamination was carried out here prior to a single stage machine polish to remove any light swirls and marring the car had picked up in transport and from factory. The wheel arches and brake components were flushed clean and ceramic coated along with the paintwork. The difficult competition wheels were machine polished and also ceramic coated, assuring the owner that the car can take whatever hard driving is thrown at it and still remain as perfect as can be. The coatings applied are resistant to wash marring, swirl marks and corrosion to the arch components.
