First Engine Bay Detail In 33 Years! Disaster BMW E30 Detail!

[@illmaticTKD]

In older bmws, if you ain't leaking oil you better check your dipstick because you ain't got oil

[@ChromaticGarage]

Danny Garcia haha big big facts

[@byonetrippy682]

Spot on

[@hendrakartawidjaja2807]

For 33 years of e30, without any rust or oil leak, is something...

[@ChromaticGarage]

hendra kartawidjaja I agree! It’s really low mileage, body needs some body work. Will be happening in the spring!

[@adhecappo]

Chromatic Auto Detailing can’t wait for it 🤗😇

[@VermillionDawn]

They built them well back then! My 1990 has held up well. Almost 400,000 km. No rust, just a very minor oil leak and some chipped clear coat. My engine bay is as dirty as this one though, so this is inspiring for me!!

[@MyNicknash]

So relaxed with my coffee and this video on an early Tuesday morning 💗

[@ChromaticGarage]

MyNicknash sounds perfect! Enjoy the rest of your day!😊

[@Calmfries]

1:54, the moment he brushed over that 30 year old sticker and the orange colour pops. So satisfying!

[@ChromaticGarage]

Calvin Lim love it! Thanks for watching

[@DM-ns3vb]

Back when cars had souls..! Amazing work to say the least.

[@ChromaticGarage]

D M hah seriously! Thanks!

[@ZisisKoukoumakis]

I feel happy to have found your channel. You do amazing work. The only thing I would do differently here is that I would probably polish the fuse cap a bit with some plastics polisher. The haziness and yellow effect make it look dirty in comparison to the rest of the engine.

[@rehabdetailing474]

Good stuff, what camera do you use ?

[@King716]

What kind of cleaning products would you recommend for a normal engine bay cleaning? I have a 2013 Dodge charger R/T that i want to show some love

[@ChromaticGarage]

Brett E a mild degreaser and soft bristle brush works great! You can use a hose just use minimal water

[@kylestrassburger6514]

I recently bought an E30and I don’t think the engine bay had ever been derailed had to do the same but I don’t regret any bit of it love the car

[@ChromaticGarage]

Kyle Strassburger congrats Kyle! You’re going to love it, so damn fun to work on and drive

[@kylestrassburger6514]

Long time BMW tech here.. That engine looks better than when the E30 was new. They would come off the cargo ships covered in protectant. Real pain to get that stuff off.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Peter Piper absolutely! Love this car man! Thanks for watching!

[@killersof10]

I am really curious as to why you left the wind shield washer container, the AFM, and other stuff in the engine bay to clean them. There is a lot of stuff there that takes two screws to pop out and would make for an easier deep clean.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Fawkz Fawkz honestly I am also curious. Sometimes I start filming a video and skipping over things that would be way easier

[@MyManu111]

I subscribed yesterday, you are very different from other detailing channels. Appriciate your dedication & commitment towards your passion.

[@smOOdiebOOdie]

Very nice detailing. I have some experience with painting valve covers with wrinkle paint. In order to make the painted finish last it’s strongly recommended to sand blast it 🙂👍🏻 The paint you used is good because no primer needed 👌🏻

Well when you’re spraying individual pieces with a spray bottle and not pressure washing the entire engine bay, it doesn’t really matter

I love ur channel bc of the e30 vids. I drive an e28 and i wish i was as good of a detail as u. I just recently did an engine bay clean on my car but it was nowhere as in depth as this

[@ChromaticGarage]

H D thank you! I would love an e28! I’m sure it still looked great. This was super necessary to start doing an overhaul in the engine bay. I want this thing to run like we’re in 1987!

[@xraylax]

Son you had it easy!!! Normaly you have to clean off all kinds of residue from caked on sealants, anti rust and body protection spray! This E30 has seen little rain and has just a lot of dirt and road grime

[@Adrian9987]

Awesome video. Maybe try increasing the angle at which you film the engine so that your arm doesn't block what you are trying to show, might be a bit difficult though given the way the bonnet opens. Keep up the great content.

[@flogerskumaraku377]

Good job 👌

[@ChromaticGarage]

Flogers Kumaraku thanks Flogers!

[@enjoiLife198]

I noticed on the first shot of cleaning the plastics you ended up steaming first before using the degreaser. Was that to help loosen up the caked in oil for the degreaser or just what you ended up doing at that point? Lol

[@DeputatKaktus]

Around 9:25 I was half expecting a smoke alarm to go off in the shop 😅

[@ChromaticGarage]

Tim Berghoff haha I have that same thought most days

[@youngboy301]

What's really bothering me is when you use the steel wire brush. I suggest using a plastic brush is much safer (not scratching) and cleaner because it's more flexible than steel wire brush.

[@ChromaticGarage]

Young Boy it was necessary. Usually i would agree but it’s hard to translate just how stubborn something is into a video

[@savage_heck5713]

Imma need y’all to work on my 2j swapped e30

[@ChromaticGarage]

luis ocampo as long as you’re watching imma try my best! Thanks bro!

[@CastelThe1st]

The plastic splash guard probably got taken off years ago. You'd be surprised how much that thing helps keep the bay clean.

[@theirishman088]

Wait.. you don't just spray degreaser on the engine and spray it off and then coat it in armor all like all the new car dealerships do? from my experience your doing it wrong bc new car dealers use old mitts and 3 week old soap buckets full of dirt and grime lol. kidding of course i love the detail and I'm glad someone else out there likes to put in the time to make it look good. Nice work!
