Porsche Cayenne, BMW 745 Li

Last polished about 6 months ago, with op and white lc pad @1200 rpm,. Car is being butchered regularly at a car wash place. It is full of swirls now, These 2 details were a gift to the owner from me. No paint corrections done, just pc work.

before



since I was a very good boy this year again, I received my Xmax present (part) early, so I was very excited to try Menzerna's 106

wash - optimum's
clay -Meg's burgundy
dry with the absorber (purple)
green cccs lc pad, pc 6 #106
poli seal to protect with pc 4 white 7.5 lc pad
tire - fk1 #108

After polishing, just #106




After Poli seal





interior was vacuumed
steam cleaned
protected with FK1 #108
windows cleaned with a generic cleaner

Before



After



Engine before



sprayed with a costco's degreaser (10min)
steam cleaned
dressed with fk1 #108

Forgot to take afters. the owner was going Xmas shopping with the kids and needed the car.

Re: Porsche Cayenne, BMW 745 Li

same process for the 745, but instead of poli seal, I applied Max Wax with the pc and a blue propel pad speed 4 to protect.

Very unique color, I really like it. It was after 8pm by the time I finished and the pictures show that. I really need to experiment with the camera settings.

Before



After







This interior was also very bad - (3 kids) although the before pictures don't really show it.

No protection was used on this interior.

Before



After


That yellow spot didn't come out. I suggested all weather rubber mats to him. He needs them. The velcro on these mats are gone anyways.





But if you don't want to see the imperfections, here are some ""better"" pictures for you.

Re: Porsche Cayenne, BMW 745 Li

Excellent work on both cars mate... the Cayneene has a deep glossy black look and the interiors on both cars look great!

thanks Justin - I've been using it for a long time, and to date it is the best looking wax that I have tried. Much better than Zymol's Carbon Black.

Both look really good, amazing how clear and wet 106FF leaves the paint, isn't it? Seems to work very well with Poli-Seal too.

Re: Porsche Cayenne, BMW 745 Li

Fantastic! Both look pristine! I am astounded at the depth and wetness of the Cayenne.

I like this interior pic of the C because I didn't know FK108 was this good on trim and upholstery and because the vacuum lines make the passenger floormat look like a giant chicken had been sitting in the seat. Love it!
