Another X5 and a 525

Yesterday I first did the 525. Did the interior as well, but forgot to take after pictures as I had to rush to do the X5



2003, bought used 2 years ago but overall the car is in great shape. I loved the color. No paint correction for either car. The owners only care about shine and protection. Also not aware of swirls

Took just about 5 hours. The wheels were in terrible shape and the front insides are not 100% clean. Wheels would have to be removed.

wash
clay (very conteminated)
Zaio orange Scholl pad
Z2PRO white lc pad
NL x 2 on tires
Meg's WB/Super Clean mix on wheels x3!!!

Before





After







============================================

The X5 I have detailed like 2 years ago.

Somehow I did this SUV in 4.5 hours

Engine was sprayed down with Super Clean and pressure washed. (no picture)

Interior

TOL deep down and steam
S&G on windows/trim

Before



After



Before



After



Exterior

Dawn wash
Clay
Poli Seal UDM CG white pad
CG Extreme Top Coat UDM white pad
NL on tires X 2
NL in wheel wells and trim
Meg's WB/Super Clean on wheels x3 - front wheels on the inside are not 100%

Before



After it was past 7pm when I took these.
