This was a daily driven BMW Z8 Alpina 1 of 555 ever made and extremely rare. 4 or 5 years ago, the collector car sat in his driveway with a cover on it untouched. Recently a friend found and purchased the car with hopes of restoring it back to its original condition and selling it for a profit. My job is to detail and restore the BMW paint and interior disaster back to new, as this is the first wash and detail it has received in 4 years. For me this qualifies as a disaster vehicle restoration with a smelly, moldy, gross interior with cigarette ash, interior swirls on the black plastic trim, moss growing under the hood, and super deep scratches on the painted front fender, all on an incredibly rare BMW z8 Alpina which qualifies as a filthy full detail and first wash. There is a huge before and after satisfaction and gratifying reveal so watch until the very end. We performed a paint correction with full compound and polishing after we removed the damaged clear coat on the front driver side and passenger side fenders. Once done we applied AMMO Reflex Pro to the exterior for insane reflection and paint coating protection, Gelee Pro on the wheels all before the customer reveal at the end.
