I think the E46 has aged so well, such a classy design, had a 320CD & a 325Ci M-Sport, loved them both! You could tell this one was a beauty before it was neglected.
You should be on stage with Penn and Teller, because that scratch repair was the best magic I have ever seen. Outstanding job as always. That car was lucky to have been sorted out by you - looks new.
Probably you've heard that many times but I love the way you are making videos... No nonsense or crappy talk. Christmas tree definitely just before festive times
I pretty much always approve of you BGM during the detail, but I really appreciate the AMSR section. Being autistic, certain sounds can burn me out pretty quick. A handful of seconds with limited sounds is golden. Thank you.
Absolutely terrible way to treat someone else’s car! Especially someone who’s obviously supported you! Ungrateful, think of your self respect and the children. Car is awesome! Keep it bud Fantastic job! Really happy to watch you turn this one around! I’ve got a 2020 M2 Competition
Wow. You normally do a cracking job mate but this one was on another level. Hope the bloke was suitably impressed! As for the Christmas tree - first week of December but in reality, whatever keeps the misses happy!
I very much enjoyed your paint correction on that huge scrape! Also...I would never have known that air fresheners could damage interior plastics! Beautiful job!
Great job again, bet the owner was well pleased with this outcome... Also, very nice editing, like the split views and text saying what's going on or being used, and it was nicely paced. Well done to you!
As I was growing up , tree went up usually day after Thanksgiving . Now I am married and 10 years past "Over The Hill" wife and I have no kids and rarely put a tree up now . God Bless and have a safe and happy/merry Christmas and New Year !
2 small trees are up and house is decorated! Yes it is early this year but with COVID just wanted the cheer in the house! Usually I start the first or second week in Dec! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Another amazing job! As late as possible for putting the Christmas tree 🎄 up! Usually the week before Christmas day for me. It's all too early these days and kids get over excited for too long if the decorations go up early. Traditionally the tree goes up on Christmas eve and is only up for the 12 days of Christmas. Hope you and your family have a great one.
Love that E46 but I still prefer the E36 myself. Christmas deco goes up the weekend after thanksgiving for us here in the states. Falls on the last weekend of November, just in time for the first advent for my German wife.
Great work Garry - nice to hear some of the music from the early days. I used to put the tree up second week of December and my kids always complained! So first week probably ok.
Amazing results, the paint repair is a huge improvement, the damage is almost invisible according to the after shots, I always break out the Christmas tree and decorations in early December❤️
14:36 I don't use an air freshener but my Mrs does. I read the back of the packet the other day: Do not let product touch plastic, glass, carpet, cloth upholstery, leather, metal finished plastics. So basically EVERYTHING IN A CAR! 🤪😆
Iv just bought one this Saturday Iv had over 6 in the past 5 years I started my channel with a M3 too and now Iv bought another one I just can’t get enough of them.. it seems like every time I sell it someone gets one and I’m back to looking for one. I’m lucky to of bought one this weekend and il definitely be keeping it now.
I would literally commit a crime towards my ex-wife that would incarcerate me for the rest of my life if she refused to give me my M3 and on top of that trashed it
Early December for Christmas decorations. You did a masterful job on this BMW. I’m sure the owner was massively happy and relieved. It’s such a personal invasion when you’ve been the victim of crime. This kind of extensive cleaning and love is critically important to healing the psychological wound. May I ask the rinsing aid you would suggest to put through the foam cannon? First time viewer & new sub.
That scratch repair is amazing, you cant see any sign on camera. And with regards to the Chrismas tree, up on the 12th December, Down 6th of January at the latest.
I agree... leave the Christmas tree till last. 12 days of Christmas? We seem to be extending it forever and it creates such expectation, we're all worn out by the time it's over. Great video, masterful scratch work. Cheers 👍🏼
As a kid many years ago living in the Northern Territory of Australia...we left the tree up for three straight years. It became the Christmas Tree, The New Years Tree and the Easter Tree...
Fine Job. Great car. I had one myself, LHD. I always had to detail the roof compartment (where the roof goes when the top is down); it gets super-gross. I would stop halfway through putting the top up/down and it exposes the compartment. Also, with obvious signs of smoking in the car, I would always clean the inside roof liner. Otherwise, I could never get rid of the stank. I do that now for every convertible (which is all I drive). Also, your touch-up was so good it was freaky (it can't look that good in person). Definitely worth mentioning that results may vary. I did not see you use clear-coat; was that touch-up paint singe-stage? I really loved that E88.
Fantastic job, that scratch repair was amazing. Quick question. I have just bought my daughter her first car which the previous owner had smoked in. It's not horrendous but it needs freshening up. What tips can you give to help someone like me who is not so confident in removing car seats and I don't have an upholstery cleaner either. What can I use that will help, can I clean the seats by hand with something? Thanks.
Rent an ozone machine. Close up the car running, with the A/C running on recirculate to clear out the vents. Run the ozone machine in the car at the same time for 30-45 minutes. Open up the car to air out. DON’T BREATHE IN THE OZONE! That should eliminate odors from all surfaces/fabric.
Exactly what I was just about to type. Thanks Good luck David Williams, smoking smells are amongst the hardest to get rid of and the best things is ozone and then just letting the air in and opening the windows as much as possible afterwards.
Most lingering smells (esp smoke) after a detail are a result of odors trapped in the roof liner. A lot of time usually goes into cleaning carpets. Oddly, most dirt is in the carpet, but few smells. Most odors eminate from the seats, and the roof liner. Be careful cleaning it; aside from being very fragile, it is attached with glue (i.e., do not use steam). The ozone machine is the best tip yet, and will get 95% of the job done.
Love the vid as usual. But really, an M3 with cheap shitty Landsail tyres?! When I see stuff like that it really makes me worried about proper maintenance.
Fantastic job there! I try get tree up 12 days before Xmas, otherwise imagine if the song was called ‘55 days of Xmas’ by the time you’ve got to the send of the song, we’ll it’d be a new year 😂
Great job mate but you should have disconnected the battery before unplugging the seats because it normally triggers the airbag light on the dash. Got to say a Stunning 🤩 job overall.
Hi😀. Just a wee question : When taking out the seats on the cars, do you ever get a dash light coming on when you refit the plug? Ie a airbag light etc as some have built in airbags. I assume most cars are ok. Cheers Craig from bonnie ayrshire 😁👍
@@autoshineblackpool I was wondering that cheers 👍. As I've got a cheaper hand held diagnostic machine but wasn't sure if I need to get a bigger better one if I start doing valeting. Thanks for getting back to me 😀👍
About as ugly as a "civilised" divorce can be. However, this video represents a good amount of evidence in any further proceedings. If only he changed out the chav-spec wheel, shift knob, stereo, diffuser and trim vinyl together with some proper Michelin tires, it'd bring a cool 15k or at least be a better handling and smarter looking ride.
No silly-cone! The first small step on a long road to basic decency. Seeing this doesn’t just give me hope for you, but for the whole of humanity. You should be proud of yourself.
Great job on scratch,you tried touching up with tooth pick gets inside scratch then just miss second sanding stage out and straight to buff works for me.
We used to put up the christmas tree on the 23rd of December and take it down five days later. Now that I’m alone I don’t bother to decorate my home at all, and I’ll just have a re-heated pizza for christmas dinner.
also avoid those diffusers with liquid air freshers that clip on the air vents. have done a few cars that have those and leaked... melts everything that it leaked on, worst was on a head unit
Amazing job on the scratch Garry! If I had my way the Xmas tree would go up 2 weeks before Xmas day, it will no doubt go up the first weekend of December though. Great job nice to have some content again 👍🏻 wishing you & the family a merry Xmas 🎄 🎁
Ever thought about doing a Spotify playlist for your soundtrack. It's not normally the sort of thing I'd go for but some of the tunes are really catchy. Also 23:50 JESUS CHRIST!! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!!
Not enough 'after' shots of the inside! I felt left hanging lol. Nice to see you doing more cleaning vids again though, great work on this gorgeous BMW, especially on that scratch!

How long did this job take? 5 days? And also what is the value of the car before and after the work done? Thanks
Tonight hurry up
That key scratch repair is really good! Well done mate, you should be proud of that!
Not that hard.
Fill it with paint, level it with sand paper, and polish it
@@dan_6915 don't downplay it dan, the bloke did a great job. It is tricky stuff. Everything is easy until you attempt it.
@@dudoboi Rightly said.
@@dudoboi good man👍🤝
@@Mattys_Channel 🤜🤛
Speaks volumes of anyone who would not only withhold a blokes pride and joy and also let kids trash it.
Good job on the clean up looks great.
Wife should have been made to lick it clean.
Hey, you never know. What would somebody have to do to you to get you to treat their car like that?
I think the E46 has aged so well, such a classy design, had a 320CD & a 325Ci M-Sport, loved them both! You could tell this one was a beauty before it was neglected.
I had a e46 320d m sport what a beauty but arch rust was a headache.
I've still got my 323ci
You should be on stage with Penn and Teller, because that scratch repair was the best magic I have ever seen.
Outstanding job as always. That car was lucky to have been sorted out by you - looks new.
wow the scratch repair was a great job not the easiest thing to do, great to see you back
Like so many others said, that scratch repair was really decent! Massively impressed as I'm sure the owner was.
Probably you've heard that many times but I love the way you are making videos... No nonsense or crappy talk. Christmas tree definitely just before festive times
Thank you 😊
Fantastic transformation, hope owner does the right thing and bin those ditchfinder landsail tyres!

Awesome work on that rear quarter mate, top cleaning job as usual 👌🏻
Thanks 😊
Cracking job on that scratch, great to watch, no flashy chemicals just know how, hard work and elbow grease!

Really nice video, as usual! Good editing, good choice of music, and I absolutely love your Scottish accent. Greets from Austria :)
Thank you 😊
Great job mate!
Wish we could see the reactions of the car owners who you've done cleaning for
Absolutely a pleasure to watch as always . No rubbish just cracking on with the job. Love it 👍
I absolutely love doing cars like this the owners reactions are just brilliant. 👍👍🏴
First weekend in December for us, car transformation is awesome well done 👍
Lovely job, well impressed with the scratch repair.
Great job with this one; outstanding work on that scratch. This is my favourite M3 of all time and these days they are as rare as hens teeth.
Tremendous video and car. I just picked up an e46 330 vert, going to copy this wash, thanks mate!
Beauty of a job done there mate .well done keep up the video's

Top notch content as always and 10/10 for scratch repair. Can't wait to see more quality videos 👏👏👏👏👏
Great work. Car looks heaps better then it did. I'm putting up my Christmas 🎄 decorations this weekend as it's now December.
Hey Gary....Top notch job as usual. Wish you were here in the states. Awesome job on that long scratch!!! Cheers!!!!
Nice work 👍 Enjoyed the video, first one I've seen of yours
That scratch repair is amazing, you cant see any sign on camera. And with regards to the Chrismas tree, up on the 12th December, Down 6th of January at the latest.
Another fantastic video. Wish I got my car sorted by you when I still lived in Scotland.
I agree... leave the Christmas tree till last. 12 days of Christmas? We seem to be extending it forever and it creates such expectation, we're all worn out by the time it's over. Great video, masterful scratch work. Cheers 👍🏼
Great job. Will definitely try the rinse aid in snow foam Cannon
6:14 I love that effect, looks superb!
Perhaps he paid too much attention to the car and pissed her off😂
As a kid many years ago living in the Northern Territory of Australia...we left the tree up for three straight years. It became the Christmas Tree, The New Years Tree and the Easter Tree...
Jeez, if my car ever gets keyed. I think im driving up to Blackpool, and not even bothering asking a body shop!
Fantastic work on that repair!
12 days before and 12 days after or bad luck will fall was what I was told as a kid !!
scratch repair was a job to be proud of...
Really enjoyed this vlog, ty....just a ?,when taking out seats for you have to disconnect the battery?

The Christmas tree should go up around the 12th of December, and come down on the 30th of December to welcome in the new year.
Great work
Stonking transformation, pleasure to watch as ever

Missed you, good to see everything working as usual.
Best to moose
Love the vid as usual. But really, an M3 with cheap shitty Landsail tyres?! When I see stuff like that it really makes me worried about proper maintenance.
Yeah can put of any buyers if selling the car, wouldn't have those "death gliders" anywhere an M3!
Maybe the owner likes going sideways, or perhaps the owners now ex wife put them on for him......
Hell have no fury
Have you tried Landsail tyres?
What drying aid and dilution ratio do you use when you put it in a snow foam Lance?
1 product to 15 water in the bottle and it’ll water down even more coming through the hose
Goes up 12 days before and comes down 12 days after.
Amazing job! Greetings from Italy
Woah. Great job. I have the exact same car in the exact same colour. I just wish you were closer to me, back up the road in Glasgow. Brilliant job.
Fantastic job there! I try get tree up 12 days before Xmas, otherwise imagine if the song was called ‘55 days of Xmas’ by the time you’ve got to the send of the song, we’ll it’d be a new year 😂
Great video, as always. For the Christmas tree question, definitely the first week in December. Have a great Christmas.
Great video I have a coupe as second car. In my opinion best looking car BMW ever built.
Amazing paint correction!
Great job mate but you should have disconnected the battery before unplugging the seats because it normally triggers the airbag light on the dash. Got to say a Stunning 🤩 job overall.
well done, lots of love an passion put into it!
Thanks for the video! Is the hot water pressure washer a new addition? Never noticed steam before until you were spraying the engine bay.
You do amazing work. Have learnt much from you. What steam cleaner do you use. Merry Christmas.
