    Car: Vehicle was a 1991 BMW 850i. M series 19 inch rims.



    Condition: Good overall shape. Trunk was pretty bad, and the roof was in worse shape. They will need a repaint, but at least they have some shine back now. Rims were really caked with brake dust, and tar. Paint was swirled, but I got most of it out. With silver, they dont` show at all, unless its under the heaviest of light, excluding the sun.



    Process:



    Interior:

    Rinse matts with hose

    Scrub with Automagic carpet cleaner

    Rinse with hose



    Scrub carpets and upholstery with Automagic Spot shot upholestery cleaner

    Vacuum in a appealing pattern.



    Clean dash and interior plastics with Automagic 777 APC.

    Topped dash and plastics with Automagic Super Dress It.



    Exterior:



    Wash

    Clay

    Wetsand roof and trunk

    Automagic XP Compound on whole vehicle on cutting pad via rotary

    Automagic GS1 via PC on polishing pad

    Automagic Wet Wax



    Rims:

    Degrease with Automagic 777 APC

    Rinse

    Clay

    Seal with Automagic Awsome Gloss



    Tires:



    Automagic Dress It Right



    Engine Bay:



    Degrease with Automagic 777

    Rinse

    Wipe down painted surfaces with Klasse

    Dress plastics with Super Gloss

    Looks great Steve! Those are some serious wheels! What dilution of 777 did you use on them? Are they uncoated or cleared? If I remember correctly, 4:1 is the ususal 777 dilution on wheels.



    I really like the 777 but haven`t used it on wheels yet. Could be a good go to for uncoated wheels given that it says it won`t blush metals.

    AWESOME work!





    Why does that thing have cloth interior though?





    Was the trunk suffering from clearcoat checking?





    Again, great work...That car shows well .
