DETAILING 1976 BMW 2002 | Coating a Bavarian Classic with Artdeshine Nano Graphene Coating

[@GullysGarageSK]

Just like the kids we are sad for the summer to end. The end of the regular RAD masterpieces. Honored to be featured with other great brand in this video. 😉

Thanks Shaun. I love that shirt! It is going to be difficult keeping up with the content once school resumes, but I may be a able to sneak a project in here and there.

Good timing!

I was about 6-7 years old when I spoted this BMW model in a high end neighbourhood in eastern Europe . Brings me back good memories..thanks for posting .

[@RADGarage]

It's crazy how some cars can leave such a strong impression on our your minds. My equivalent would be the gold Porsche 944 I got a ride in when I was about 10 or 11. It made me the car lover I am today.

Incredible work. Nice little care package from ArtDeShine too. That is a thousand dollar bottle of Nano graphene😳

The front window is so slick that a bug hit it and honestly just glanced off… best detail of its life is no exaggeration…

Hi Rick, The finsih looks perfect...but when you zoom in close its better than perfect. In my opinion this has to be your best video ever. From the production of the video to the work you did on this fantastice 2002. Really magnificent. Almost speechless. Awesome. Oh yes. I love the way you show the products you are using and that you can easily find the different steps by the hash marks on the video itself. The interview with your friend was the iceing on the cake.

Engines have been pretty tidy on recent projects. For the GT3, I just wiped down the underside of the "hood" and around the edges and the Golf Rallye was impeccable under there. I may be doing a thorough wash of my own car's engine bay here in the next few weeks, but engine bays are something I approach with caution and trepidation.

[@royaltyautodetailing]

I have to tell you...... I have recently switched to Artdeshine as my go to company for Coatings, Shampoos, and most detail needs based primarily off the performance I'm seeing as cars come back for maintenance jobs. I still enjoy using IGL Kenzo and Gtechniq Ultra from time to time but if I had to pick a single product line, Artdeshine would be it! Not sure who your rep is up in Canada but down here in the states its Christian Tran...... That guy is just a pleasure to deal with. Great video keep them coming!

[@RADGarage]

I appreciate your thoughts. I have to agree regarding the NGC. It was tremendously satisfying to work with and the results were jaw dropping. I was fortunate to deal directly with Christian and I hope to continue the relationship. I look forward to hearing back from the car owner as to how the coating performed after its first wash.

[@detailobsessed]

Great video Rick. I know you say you don't do it for the views and I understand that 100% but it also still feels good to have the appreciation for your work. The algorithm is something of a mystery isn't it. I have heard it helps to post consistently and at the same time each week fortnight etc. Good luck with getting to where you should be!

[@RADGarage]

Yeah, I try not to be a slave to the algorithm, but I’ve noticed the video performance is going well for the first day or so and then WHAM! the views just stop. That’s what has me confused. I just want to reach as many viewers as possible who will appreciate the level of quality I try to include in my work, but it seems KZbin thinks otherwise. However, I am incredibly fortunate to have a strong and loyal base of viewers who always show interest in and support. for what I do. 🙏🤘

Hey Rick! Another great video. But you got me exhausted watching you do that wash! 😂😂 As an after thought, I bought a new Rupes 5” polisher and while I use it and like the feel, I still do most of my polishing with my Rupes 3”. You have to work the 3” a little more, but as a kinda buyer’s remorse, I probably should have invested in an iBrid.

[@RADGarage]

Having the LHR15, 75E and Nano is all I need to do what I need to do. I think you'll appreciate the LHR15 more as you use it. It has really grown on me. Some people get frustrated with its stalling out under more pressure, but I think you get into a rhythm with it the more you use it.

What an incredible video. I’m an enthusiast detailer and up until recently felt intimidated by machine polishing my car. However, I’m ready now to dive head first into it. I want to purchase a DA polisher. Which one would you recommend as being versatile for a beginner like me?I really like Rupes

[@RADGarage]

Thanks for the comment, Jeffrey. I was also quite intimidated by the polishing/correction process, but with a lot of KZbin tutorials and just plain old trial and error on my own cars, I quickly gained the confidence to tackle jobs for others. I started out with two Griot's machines that were awesome but then made the investment in a trio of Rupes polishers. I can only speak from my own experience, but I really like the Rupes machines. I know others speak highly of other brands, but I am very happy with my decision to purchase the LHR15 MKII, LHR75E and iBrid Nano micro polisher. They have all performed well to date.

[@Codriver72]

You know I have been looking forward to this one. And you did not disapoint in any way. I was right back to my youth. There are noting I have not been taking apart and playing around with in theese cars. I was hoping to get a glimpse under the hood and I loved that the owner took to explain what was done to the car. My father had a 2002 Tii with the kügelfischer injection and it was also modified with slightly higher compression- A little bit milder cam was fitted, it was a Schrick 284. It was a nice register in that engine and around 140hp. I was about to ask if it was the 5 speed from the turbo, the dogleg, but I guess those are unicorns now. The transission from E21 is a really good choice but if I remember correctly you needed to modify the tunnel slightly? Or was it the clutch mechanism that differed? I might be wrong. It was many years ago now. I will not bore you with any more BMW stories from my past. Once again fantastic work, Rick! I love the fact that I got the chance to hang out in your garage with this car. Send my best to the owner. I would like to meet him but it is quite a journey to go to Canada to view at old BMWs and Ricks RAD Garage :) Take care!

[@RADGarage]

Hopefully, Thomas will chime in and you guys can chat about all the internals. I just know how to make them look good.

[@FastFurious-xe6cr]

The car turned out absolutely amazing!! Sorry it’s taken so long to reply here. The car was fitted with a Getrag 245 5 speed, it’s the overdrive transmission from the E21 320i. I may have a Getrag 235/5 sitting on the shelf for a race car build that is underway… maybe we can talk Rick into showcasing it when it’s all done… The Getrag 245 fits in to the 2002 with the slightest indent of the trans tunnel close to where the gas pedal sits… but it doesn’t take more than half an inch and she is in with enough clearance, just need to shorten the driveshaft. The cars are so fun to play with although some of the popular parts are getting harder to find. If you end up in Calgary I’m sure we can find a few vintage BMWs that are sure to satisfy.

[@Codriver72]

@@FastFurious-xe6cr Thank you for the reply! Then I remembered correctly about the tunnel. It would be something special to visit Canada and the US. Who knows, some day it might happen. There has been quite a lot of BMWs in our family. If I include my grand father, my father, my brother and me there has been one 1500, one 1800, three 2002s, one 2002 Tii, one 1802, one 1602, one 518 E12, one 318i E21, two 323i E21, two 320i E30, one 325i Coupé E36, one 523i E39, one 320i E46 and now my father is the only one of us that owns a BMW.

Awesome results Rick, as per usual! Do you dilute the Adams Wheel & Tire cleaner in your pump sprayer? If so, what dilution ratio do you find works well?

[@RADGarage]

I previously diluted it, but I much prefer using it full strength. It’s not a particularly aggressive cleaner from my experience. It’s just right.

[@andyhedin4893]

@@RADGarage Thanks Rick. I don't have a pump sprayer yet, so I was using it at full strength using the crummy trigger sprayer it came in. Darn thing self-destructed after pulling the trigger less than a dozen times. The product seems thicker than what I was used to using (P&S Brake Buster) so thought perhaps I'd have an easier time using it (and make the sprayer last longer) if I diluted it. It likely was just a cheap sprayer. One of these days I'll pick up a nice pump sprayer and put these junk trigger sprayers behind me.

With a pump sprayer, I really like Adam's over the P&S. Watching that Adam's AIO Wheel & Tire Cleaner instantly draw dirt out of tires is one of the most satisfying sites when I'm doing a wash.

Is that sprayer you use for the wheel cleaner the IK Foam or the IK Multi? Also, is it worth using a sprayer like the IK sprayers to apply wheel cleaner opposed to a spray bottle?

[@alfredomartinez2615]

What did you think of the foam?

[@RADGarage]

Snow+ is in my Top 3. Great stuff.

[@benrios9643]

What’s speed do you run the polisher at for cutting and polishing?

[@RADGarage]

For cutting I'm around a 4 and I like to boost it up to 5 when I am doing the polish.

[@benrios9643]

Thank you so much for the reply

Always a pleasure to connect with viewers.

What is the good color for BMW e30??

[@RADGarage]

I love them in white!

[@qwikss4469]

Nice job, but dang, you use a ton of pressure. Foam pads looked flat.

[@RADGarage]

Those Rupes Yellow pads go soft very quickly. I use very little pressure actually.

Hey Rick, Wonder if you can help my confused brain! You made a video ages ago and used music with a guys voice who has a very soothing voice who speaks wisdom! I can’t for the live of me remember his name, You don’t happen to know it do you? 🤣

[@RADGarage]

I know exactly who you mean. He’s amazing. He’s Alan Watts. RIP. Alan Watts g.co/kgs/9p1pvj

@@RADGarage Yess! Thank you so much Rick! I knew you’d know, Thank you!

[@RADGarage]

I could listen to him all day, every day.

Hi Rick ! Back from the seaside and just finished watching your last video. Buddy, that is hell of a car 🤘🤘🤘 ! Nearly my age but the lady is still looking pristine 👌! Wish I could soon pamper mine but unfortunately this week we are facing kind of a heat wave and temperature is reaching 40°C. Hopefully, she will soon go to my best friend's workshop to get a full wash, decon and a full ceramic coating. Talk to you soon ! 🤘 🆂 🆃 🅰 🆈 🆁 🅰 🅳 🤘

[@RADGarage]

I will assume you had a great time at the seaside. We are heading into a hot weekend, but overall, I can feel the weather cooling down here. Thanks for taking time to relax with this classic BMW.

@@RADGarage Indeed spending time with my family is priceless. Though I only had one week leave, it still helps to release some stressfull time at work. I might go for another week middle of september to enjoy our French riviera when my wife will have a day-off. Since we still have nice weather until autumn and less tourists, sea side in back season is even better !

[@RADGarage]

The French Riviera. Wow, does that ever sound nice!

[@jankasdetailing4066]

Darn, get bumpers from europe,, looks better,, but damn nice car

[@RADGarage]

I know he goes back and forth with the extended bumpers. He has so many projects on the go, I think the bumpers on this car are way down his priority list.
