Brilliance Auto: Weekend Cleanup - 2009 BMW Z4, 2016 GMC Sierra

[Irkie500]

Hello Friends!

My first two real details of the season. I must first apologize in advance for the lack of pictures and the potential quality of said pictures, I was working on a very tight time schedule for both vehicles and also encountered some inclement weather that I needed to work around. Without further ado:

2009 BMW Z4 Xdrive 3.0l:

Client is a friend of mine who goes to the same gym as myself. I asked him if he has every had the vehicle detailed and told me he was out looking for places to have it done. I kindly offered my services and we settled for the Brilliance Prestige package, which is a full detail plus an AIO polish. Vehicle was in pretty good shape, outside just had some minor swirling and hard water spots. Inside was near perfect, just needing a quick dusting and cleanup.

Process and Products:
2 bucket wash method
Chemical Guys Maxi Suds
Chemical Guys Silk Shine
Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner
Chemical Guys APC
P21S Wheel Gel
Adam`s Wheel Woolies
Nanoskin Wash Mit
Invisible Glass
HD Speed on a PCXP Speed 5 with microfiber finishing pad
HD Poxy

Wheel Before:


P21S doing its thing. I absolutely love this stuff, super easy to use and just melts away brake dust.


After:
There were still some tar deposits and streaking left over which was addressed later.



These are the only two close up shots I have of the paint, so my apologies. As mentioned before it was mostly just light to medium swirls. The metallic really popped afterwards!



And a few after shots I was able to squeeze in:



Unfortunately no shots of the interior, but the everything was wiped down with APC 10:1 and then dressed with Chemical Guys Slik Shine, seats were cleaned and conditioned with Chemical Guys Leather Conditioner. Carpets and mats were shampooed. Overall the client was over the moon with the results. The car had amazing clarity in the paint, and felt like new. Overall working time was about 4-5 hours.


Up next was my Sister`s Fiance`s truck, which was pretty much brand new but takes a beating due to his job and very large dog. Overall same process as above, however we opted out of paint correction and went with a spray wax instead due to the rain and time constraints.

Over all just very dirty:





Some salt staining on the side of the driver mat:



Dirt on the door from dirty boots kicking the door


Dog hair!! that was from one weekend...




Dirty back seat:


Front passenger side:



50/50 of the dashboard:


No more hair!


All done:


The outside was washed, then washed again with the Nanoskin wash mitt, topped with a spray wax. Literally as soon as I finished applying the wax the rain started to drizzle again. No pictures of the outside as again I was working furiously to meet a deadline, they were actually waiting at the house for the truck to be completed since their afternoon obligation was canceled due to rain. Overall working time was about 4-5 hours or so.

Thank you all for looking!

Nice work......a worthwhile investment for your sister-s fiance would be a set of Weathertech mats.....would def save his carpet some wear and tear

Good floor liners are a good investment....I do not know much about the Husky ones, but the Weathertech digital-fit floor liners are pricey
