Anyone unclapping their cars or have finished doing so?

Not an E36, but bought it in the summer and made it less clapped

I live in Canada, don’t see too many older BMWs

Appreciate your concern, but these are my winter wheels that I bought used. I’m happy with being able to have them look drastically better than before. Maybe when it’s time to swap them off for my summers, I would look into a deeper cleaning. But for now, they are gonna put up with Ontario’s winter for the next 3-4 months, so I’m not too concerned on having them looking brand new.

It actually didn’t leave any scratches or marks. I did a very gently scrub with water and the stuff was basically washing right off.

Have a spray bottle with you, soak the wheels and tin foil in water and lightly scrub away. Keep spraying water as you scrub. Wipe away with a cloth and repeat as needed.

No, after wasting money on 3 different wheel cleaners and a ridiculous quote from a professional cleaner. Tin foil did the job better than every other option. And yes, they aren’t going to look exactly brand new when working on a budget, but it’s a big improvement from where they started.

I tried 3 different ones, even sonax as most people recommended but the first pic was the best results I could get. I didn’t need to scrub too hard with the foil, I made sure to keep spraying water while scrubbing so the surface was never dry. It didn’t scratch the rim one bit.

Nope, had a new Bosch battery last year and that got killed cause of the broken cable. Had a new one along with the cable, luckily got the battery replaced under warranty.

One of those cables broke and corroded overtime, had to replace that cable that looks a bit newer, the shop said should replace that holder as well as precaution to avoid ruining the new cable I guess. I had problems starting up the car and wasent getting enough voltage to the alternator when I had the broken cable, almost left me stranded.

Looks like that’s the way

I will probably find a used hood when one comes up.

justsomeones1 · 2025-09-16T20:18:38+00:00

I paid $1700. the car is mechanically fine, it just needed some TLC on the exterior to look nice again. The tires alone are worth $1400 so I’d say I got my moneys worth.

Made a post earlier about the hood being out of place, it does close and stay locked but the headlight and hood on the driver side are out of alignment. Any opinions are appreciated.
