Auto Finesse The Big Detail No:5 - BMW e36

We are back with another no holds barred, big detail at The Academy, breathing new life into another retro classic, this time, it's the turn of the BMW e36 328i.
It all started with us announcing a competition to find the next car to undergo our top treatment at the Detailing Academy on our social media channels. The competition had begun, and 1000s of people entered by putting their car forward. From the 1000s of entries, we whittled it down to 10 we felt we could work with and put it to the public vote. Zachs e36 in Techno Violet took the lead against cars such as an early Porsche 964, a Stingray and even an MK1 Ford Escort.
So the day had come, and our friend Ash from RCR cars went up to collect the e36 from where the owner had been storing it. Monday morning 9am, and that's where the video takes it from.

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thank you - that really means a lot. The art and skill of detailing is, and has always been a passion that runs through the team, it’s what the company was built on and we want to keep alive by showing these works

[@CosminGCole97]

Incredible work, mad respect to the videographer who shot and edited this! Perfection

[@marybetheby5184]

Like a movie really..👌

[@dandezz]

Man....I wish I could join this crew... Amazing company and camaraderie.. This team rocks..

when you and your boys just robbed a bank but you need a quick detail done

[@ovidionieves855]

I can see these very intense detailing wizards on Motor Trend on a national prime time! I would watch it in a heart beat.

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Make the call, make it happen 🤣

[@jamesoliver8746]

This is not an Detailing but Factory Reset! What a job done by this amazing team! I wish there was more detailers who did this kind of job!

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thank you for the kind words

Much prefer this level of detail for your videos, appreciate the work that goes in all round.

[@darrenbuckley7000]

Love the attention to detail you guys bring. More than just a wash and polish. The attention on the headlights and boot lid was special above and beyond and other supposed transformations/big details. Great job 👏🏼

[@autodetailz5483]

It’s super motivational! I love making detailing videos!

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@deks223]

When I started following this channel, the first video I saw was about the golf mk4 and if I remember correctly you guys had like 12k subs and I was wondering how a channel with such a qaulity has only 12k subs. I am pleased to see you guys are ramping up the subs count. Cheers

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Welcome back and thank you for your support.

[@autodetailz5483]

So great and so motivational!

The chrome grille really stands out a lot more than I thought it would! Great contrast to the exterior and what an incredible job you guys pulled off!

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thanks, the chrome actually works well against this colour

[@iDropPhats]

@@AutoFinesseChannel I love it, impeccable detail as always. Love the content!

[@thomasayers2681]

Absolutely crushed it! Congrats guys, always a dream to watch these.

[@indecisionmedia]

I needed to go to bed 40 minutes ago, and here I am at the end of this. The videography was as clean as this 328is and every second was amazing. The amount of detail you guys put into cleaning this thing up is insane, and the film crew is just as crazy. Definitely looking forward to binging these videos.

[@skabkskabk595]

That’s some super hard work, and the attention to detail was 10 10. Wicked job by the team 👌🏻

[@toffeerado]

Better than that Ammo dude, Nice work.

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Don’t know about that but appreciate the support 👌

[@toffeerado]

@@AutoFinesseChannel you guys do realize he only works on OEM paint or high end resprays right? and low KM cars....... i watched him polish over a side marker and a metal badge on his recent triumph job.... no thanks, dont rush jobs if you don't want to do it don't do it, the car was actually embarrassing after.

[@easyerc2226]

Mad how much product it takes for one motor, beautiful car 😍

Absolutely smashed it all of you! Your videos keep getting better and better cinematics on point 💥🔥

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

Thank you! Will do!

[@baja1980s]

Great video, very surprised you don’t own or used a undercarriage pressure wand to clean the undercarriage but besides that very nice and enjoyable to watch, such an amazing work and dedication to perfection. Wow best Detailers on KZbin that I’ve watched

[@six0fizzlefo]

That's not a detail, it's a freaking restoration! 🤙

Glad we could help with this! Car looks amazing 👍

[@AutoFinesseChannel]

We really appreciate you helping us out at such late notice like it was 👍

[@CreatiXx]

I really like the editing style of this one instead of the video you uploaded before. This feels more flush and elegant and smooth! That aside, lovely color! Al the black details get boring over time, nice to see some colour popping! :D Great job guys and great products! Only one genuine question. At the last stage, you’ve applied a coating with the wipes but a few minutes later, you’re spraying something else on top of it with a purple bottle. What is it and why do that? Looking forward to feedback!

[@winteralexandriamiller9920]

Wowww amazing transformation

[@idareyouboigaming7182]

This was just so damn satisfying to watch 🤦🏽 You guys did an amazing job! Brought the E36 back to life ❤️

Amazing work guys. Ball park figure on how much a detail like this would cost. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
