Re: Dealer hacked M3, factory hacked (says the dealer) X6, easy CTS

2009 BMW X6. Owner traded in his BMW 650i and actually reduced his monthly payments. I'll miss the 650 when it comes to cleaning the outside (he has me out once a month) but I won't miss trying to clean the back window in that damn thing.

The owner specifically requested no prep beyond a wash and no dealer emblem. It appeared the dealer did a good job washing, didn't see any wash induced marring or swirls but on the right rear C pillar, part of the hood and the right front fender, there were rotary holograms. The owner had left to run some errands so I took some pics with my camera phone and sent them to him, which he forwarded to his saleman at the dealership. He called me about 30 minutes later and said the salesman said the swirls must have come from spot buffing at the factory. The original plan was just to wax the X6 but the owner said to take out the swirls too.

Before








Meguiars #205, Meguiars yellow polishing pad @ 1500-1000 rpms, 3M Ultrafine, 3M Ultrafina pad @ 1000-1800-1000 rpms









I also had his wife's ML500 to do a light polish (#205 via G110) so by the time I got both polished and sealed with Optimum Opti-Seal, the lighting in the owner's driveway was less than ideal so the afters aren't that great.
