Nice work, it looks great! Very jealous of the car haha, I absolutely love the R8. One of my favorite cars at the moment. Good luck with it!

Don't forget the tires and wheel wells. I'd suggest both of the Adam's Polishes products. I love their stuff.

Looks great otherwise.

Are you suggesting to clean or to put dressing on?

I put In and Out on the tires because I had nothing else to put on

I was suggesting dressing both, Super VRT and fender lining dressing.

I'll do a full detail for the wheel wells, wheel off and undercarriage cleaning when bimmerfest is over and I don't have a mobile everyday haha but thanks for looking out. It's just sitting at home anyways so no worries. I used Prima Nero as a tire shine
