White BMW 745il Detail

This was Todays detail. As you can see, the wheels needed some love. The rest of the car was in fair shape. Interior rugs needed a good shampoo. Car is sold and is being shipped to California on Saturday in an enclosed trailer.

My process:

Washed complete exterior & cleaned engine compartment

Removed wheels, polished w/Wicked Polish, sealed with AIO

Clayed exterior with Opti-Clay

Buffed exterior with Optimum Polish by rotary

Hand application of AIO

Hand application of EXP

Hand application of UPP

Complete Interior Detail

Looks great! That body style is growing on me. BTW, what did you put on the tires? Looks shiny but not greasy.

Yeah, at first I didn't like them either, but you fall in love with this car after you drive it!

For tire dressing I used Meguiars Gold Class Endurance tire gel. I just decided to try a bottle to see how it works. It does sling a little, but I found that if you let it set on the tires for a while it greatly reduces the sling. Not sure if I would buy another bottle.

I am glad that your pictures show off white so beautifully (?). Excellent detail. What pad did you use with OP?

I used a white foam pad from CMA. (Classic Motoring Accessories)

Very, very nice!

I hear ya on those wheels. Even worse, BMW carried them over to the '06 750s. It should be a law that cars with nasty brake dust problems be limited to 5 spoke or less wheels with no 90 degree angles.
