Detailer's Domain: BMW X5 4.6 Black Sapphire Sorry in advance as it rained for the most of last week. Also I felt bad that by the time the customer came to pick up it was raining. What's first....we sprayed the wheels down with P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel, next the wheel wells were sprayed with P21S Total Autowash as well the tires where sprayed as well. Bug and tar were presoaked as well with P21S Total Autowash...you get the picture. We then went on to fill the foam canon with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner knocking out any previous wax, bug and tar and anything else not taken care of by the P21S. The X was rinsed and with the water still on the X we moved on to claying the car, including windows. After claying we moved on to access the condition of the paint. I moved on to using Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna PO85RD to finish off the paint correction. The window trim was polished out using Menzerna PO85RD. As a last step I used Swissvax Blau Weiss for the first time and I have to say it made the car pop very nicely. :wow: The interior was cleaned up using the Uber Interior Kit. The metro vac was used to vacuum the carpet and seats. The vents where dusted, and plastics were cleaned up with Einszett ****pit and Einszett Plastic/Vinyl Cleaner. The leather was cleaned up with Leather Master Strong Cleaner , conditioned with Leather Master Vital and protected with Leather Master Protection. The final touches: The plastic trim was taken care of with Black Wow. Windows were cleaned with Lusso Glass Polish. Tires where dressed with Swissvax Pneu. Door Jambs were cleaned up using Einszett Spray Wax (cleans nicely and adds some protection) Products Used: Exterior: Adam's All Purpose Cleaner in the Cam Spray Foam Canon Adam's Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube Menzerna Super Intensive with the Uber Orange Pad Menzerna PO85RD with the Uber Blue Pad Menzerna Top Inspection Swissvax Blau Weiss Einszett Spray Wax Wheels and Tires Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit Interior and Glass Uber Interior Kit Engine: P21S Total Autowash Adam's VRT Diluted with Water in a Spray bottle Trim: Black Wow Tools: Infratech 5300 Brinkmann MaxFire Metabo PE12-175 Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun Before shots: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0840.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0843.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0844.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0858.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0846.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0860.jpg Engine: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...e/IMG_0838.jpg |
