Client puchased the BMW for her Mom.
Full detail - started on the interior by vacuming it first, then wiped everything down with Castrol apc diluted 3:1 or so. The previous owner tried to make the interior presentable but missed lots of spots with his AA. Protected everything with NL. The interior was in good condition overall.
exterior.
Washed the wheels/tires first. Washed the car with nxt. Clayed it.
The paint (for a white car) was the worst I have ever looked at. Swirls are covering every inch of the car and are very deep. Nothing worked except The edge 2000 yellow (medium cut) with ssr3 at 2700rpm! Even then it took many passes and wasn`t completely swirk free. (Yellow LC pads on the pc & ssr3 reduced them just a bit) So I stopped trying. I am waiting for an order from Autogeek. Ordered some backing plates and LC yellow cutting pads. Have orange already. I`ll go back once I receive the shipment. I`ll take befores for sure.

He then asked me if I would detail his wife`s 4Runner instead.
vacume
Castrol apc to clean
NL to protect. (I`ll order the 5 gallon jug next time. What an awesome product!)
wash - NXT
Clay
pwc/pc/5/LC white pads
#16 by hand
NXT interior shine on plastic trim
STP tire foam
Didn`t take befores and didn`t bother to take after interior pics. The interior mostly needed lots of vacuming and a bit of spot cleaning.
