I talked to the customer about the car. He wanted it cleaned up nicely. Im not sure how he has been taking care of it but for the most part it was in good shape. Minor swirls, waterspots and rims were DIRTY. So we agreeded on a 1 step detail.



The BMW was washed with ONR and 2 buckets using a Lowes Grout Sponge, dried with Shag Rag and Vroom drying towels

Wheels, tires and fender wells cleaned with Zep Citrus degreaser, brushes, MF mit and lots of Q Tips (I need some Raceglaze brushes :thumb:)

Windows cleaned with Zep Professional cleaner

Exhaust cleaned with 0000 Steel wool, Meg Hot Rim Chrome polish, Duragloss 501

Clayed with Meg white clay using ONR

Tires and wheel wells treated with Meg ASD

Wheels treated with DG 501

Paint was polished with FK 215, PC LC euro foam flat 5.5" Green pad (my first time with this combo and it did great, cleans great, removed the swirls and waterspots). As I was finsihing I could see the metallic flakes just poppin, at first I thought it was the FK 215 dusting lol

Glass polished with the same combo as the paint

Danse Wet glaze on paint

LSP today was Wet Obsession





Befores



Pulled up and unloaded my car well I keep my waxes/polishes in the car out of the sun

Looks great - those reflections are crazy. I bet the wheels were a pain.

Thanks Dave. The FK really was making the flakes pop like crazy. Yes the wheels were no fun, cleaned using brushes, mits, APC and ONR
