2007 BMW E90 328xi - Alpine White

**stilez** · 05-19-2008, 06:43 PM

Fun car to work with, pretty much in great shape across the board. Being white, I got rather intimate with the clay bar, but other than that, just light swirling and soil. I paid extra attention to the finer details with this one.

Interior

- Steam to clean

- Zaino Z10 to protect

- Stoner`s Invisible Glass on glass

- Zaino Z8 for jams, trim

Exterior

- Turtle Wax and Gilmour to foam

- Dawn to wash

- Zaino Z18 Clay with Poorboy`s S+W as lube

- Hi-Temp Tire Cleaner cut 50/50 on tires, wells

- P21s wheel cleaner on wheels

- Meguiar`s #105 on LC CCS White Polishing Pad @ 6

- Zaino Z-PC on LC CCS White Polishing Pad @ 6

- HTEC + #0000 Steel Wool on exhaust

- IPA wipedown

- Zaino Z5 Pro (ZFX`d) on paint, glass, lighting

- Zaino Clear Seal on wheels

- Zaino Z16 on tires x 2

- CG VRT cut 2:1 on wells

- Zaino Z8 final wipedown

nice! i love that color, its so hard to capture swirls in white but you did a great job

Very nice. I`m noticing more PC details. Works great. How did M105 work via PC for you. Others have mentioned that its correction ability is still very good.

Terrific results - BMW`s just look terrific in white, IMO. That rear bumper...wow! I have the 3M film on my car, and I think the rear bumper piece is my favorite one...rock chips are nothing when you have clumsy folks moving stuff in and out of the trunk.

I hope you are ready to have all of this great work undone. :sadpace:

Anyways, the car looks great, *crisp* seems like the right word.

I found this clear rather hard. ZPC alone was just not cutting it. 105 worked wonderfully at removing 95% of the defects after the first rounds of passes. I followed up on a couple spots on the hood and rear bumper ledge and walked around the car correcting any micromarring (almost none) with a quick pass or three with ZPC. This is a nice 1-2 combo via PC or rotary.
