THATS FRESH Detailed: 2006 Black Sapphire Metallic 325Cic

Thats Fresh · 04-23-09, 07:42

This vert was already in good condition both inside and out. Also with it being a vert, the detail only took a few hours to do some paint correction and treat the top. for some reason, the trunk was heavily swirled than the rest of the body. i used just SIP/orange for most of the car and SIP/106FF for the trunk.

*Interior: the usual dusting, vacuuming, final wipe down.

engine bay, washed the wheels, the top, and then the whole car

It was hard to get detail of the metallic paint in the light, now onto the pics

BEFORE. pollen was deep into the valve cover under the cabin filter

AFTER

i was able to reach inside of the wheel for cleaning

AFTER closeup

WAX Applied by hand for complete coverage

now for some afters. dots are the metallic. i had to pull in back into the garage bc there was still pollen present in the air.

TRUNK SHOTS
*dont mind the polishing dust on the bumper. it was given a final wash.

I see you used just SIP/orange for most of the car, did you follow that with 106ff, or just on the trunk?

How did it finish out? I have a 5 Series this afternoon, and the person wants a 1-step polish, i was thinking about SIP/orange or white.

ps. looks great!

Looking really good. I just did a 330xi in the same color I believe but in way worse condition.
