Nasty BMW Convertabile

[Polishing Booth]

As All Detailers on here we look forward to the weather getting a bit warmer and the daylight hours getting longer!



I have to quickly weigh it up if the tempratures are likely to rise above freezing if that`s the case I`ll work on the interior of the car first allowing the temprature to rise a little before setting about the exterior and then allowing me to bring the car inside the unit, The upside of shutting the door is it`s warmer the downside is that the passing traffic can`t see me at work :?



Anyway a few for you all pretty much followed the same routine the Interior was attacked first and then the exterior was then completed after all were booked in for a full day so afters are limited as it`s dark by the time they are finished.



First up a BMW with a rather nasty interior! I had fortunately Cleaned the roof on a seperate occasion a couple of weeks prior.





This is the carpet complete with Bombay Mix. :shock:

The rest of the interior was cleaned and various brushes and APC on the dash, The leather was cleaned using AG Leather Cleaner before applyling Leather Care Cream, This has been superceeded now with Leather Balm.



The wheels werre cleaned using Bilberry.

And then washed the 2BM and tar was removed with AG tar remover it was then clay barred.

It was then brought inside and polished with SRP and HD Wax was applied to the exterior.



The heater was lit to help me de-frost!

That looks fantastic. I love the look of AG HD. Too bad it has not caught on too much in the US.

People should have their keys taken for keeping their vehicles in that condition. Why buy something like that and treat it like a garbage dump? I guess the only answer is to keep auto detailers in business!!

I LOVE THIS!!!!! A little tacky, but definately more memorable/functional than a business card in someone`s wallet!

b/c it says "BMW" or "Mercedes" or "Cadillac" they just own it for braggin` rights. They don`t care about what it looks like.
