    New talent at the dealership!

    New client referred by her salesman to us because he was embarrassed by the way the car looks! Have her scheduled for Modesta in September which is the first available time. She is contacting BMW for help.

    I mean she can`t be that poor if she just bought a BMW. Yes, where are the after shots? This is the Internet, I need instant gratification.

    It’s crazy how bad the BMW screens and gauges (iDrive and cluster) end up. Whatever coating they put on the center iDrive display seems like it must be suuuper sensitive. I’ve had low mileage cars come through and that display is just hammered.

    Mike:
    Can you give us Autopians some suggestions on how YOU properly clean BMW (or any make for that matter) plastic lens covers??
    I see scratched plastic lenses in many vehicles due to improperly cleaning methods, most of them caused by good intention, but terrible results with paper toweling and Windex.
    I do know for myself in cleaning neglected daily drivers is that the lenses are very dirty to begin with. I think I have scratched lenses myself because i have not properly pre-cleaned the lenses before attempting to polish them, if that makes any sense. I also think the proper type of microfiber cloth can make a big difference as well. So any detailed methodologies would be appreciated.

    I use Griot’s interior detailer and a 450 gram towel. If they are as new I just spritz a little water on the towel. No pressure.

    Re: New talent at the dealership!

    My favorite for gauges is 1Z/Einszett/Nextzett Cockpit Premium on a very soft microfiber with absolutely no extra things on it, and just enough pressure to rub it on and wipe it off..
    Always come out beautiful, especially the hammered with fingerprints touchscreen/s..
    Those Bimmer gauges pictures look like they are just coated with some nasty stuff.. I have never in hundreds of German cars, seen gauges looking like that..

    That is a soft plastic material, not the typical plastic. Both methods I use didn’t touch The staining you see.

    Finally found that company on the web, they are a house cleaning service, apparently they’ve expanded into detailing!
