WaxWorks: 2007 BMW 328 Xi, 2007 Ford Freestle

It's been a while since I've posted any pics of details I have done... here is my 2most recent details.

2007 BMW 328 Xi in Crimson Red, Black Leather interior. The car was purchased via Ebay and had some minor issues. The roof, lower bumper valance and driver's side rocker panel has been repainted within the last month, so these areas just got a good polishing to bring up the gloss. There was some overspray on the hood and fender tops, wash induced swirls and a couple of RIDS.

The Process... Exterior
  • Washed with SMART products car wash shampoo
  • Wheels and tires cleaned with CAR Products Magnum Wheel Cleaner and Maxiwhite tire cleaner via pressure washer
  • Clayed with CAR Products Microbar paint cleaning clay
  • Paintwork leaned with Meguiar's #83 DACP via rotrary with a 3M foam compounding pad
  • Polished with Meguiar's #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 via PC with a Sonus polishing pad
  • 2 layers of Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant via PC with a Sonus Finishing Pad
  • Tires treated with Meguair's Endurance Tire Gel
  • Wheels waxed with Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant
  • Glass cleaned with Surf City Glass Cleaner, exterior glass treated with Rain X

Interior
  • Vacuumed
  • Interior panels cleaned with Meguiar's Interior Quick detailer
  • Carpets and mats cleaned with ZEP Premium Carpet shampoo via Bissel LGCM
  • Leather seating surfaces cleaned and conditioned with Lexol

The same process as listed above!

Nice job. Great reflection shots. Was the BMW in an accident prior?

Thanks for the compliment!

I was told it was hail damage to the roof and road rash on the lower bumper valance and rocker panel....
