Can Detailing Save This 400,000 KM E34 M5?

Can we knock a few hundred thousand kilometres off the exterior of this BMW E34 M5 with Detailing? Let's find out!

In this video I dedicated about 40 hours to see how much improvement I could make on my friends at Vulcan Motor Works E34 M5. The paint had been under a car cover that did some serious damage over the years. Initially I was worried that it may have worn the clear coat down too much to get that much correction out of it. But with quality products and a mild understanding of automotive substrate I was able to make a pretty significant difference across the car. From a wash, paint correction, trim painting and some touch up paint, a lot of different bases were covered. I hope you guys enjoy the documentation. Much love.

Jesus. That BMW's previous wash process must of included a gravel filled wash mitt along with a drying towel backed by a brick.

Boppin' to these tunes while looking at a beautiful E34 get the treatment. What's not to love.

Man just casually says "40 to 45 hours of work" like it only took one afternoon. Absolutely knocked this one out of the park.

Nice work 👍 This car is proof that back in those days they used to paint cars the correct way, the responsible way. Such a beautiful car, in a classic kind of way. The best feeling and the most rewarding about polishing cars is when you remove the masking tape at the end.

Well done dude. You were the person that the car needed.

i was starting to miss the videos... was rewatching the LX470 detailing to pass time then this uploaded

Some of the most dramatic before and after pictures on your channel. Chasing perfection can produce amazing results. The refresh of the trims with trim paint brought back the classic beauty of the e34. Great work!
