Big "A" Detailing 2013 BMW X3 dry wax trim cleanup + Collinite 845

About 3 months ago my customer took his 2013 BMW X3 home from the dealership.
They gave it a sloppy wax job. All around the car, the textured black plastic trim had dried up wax.
It was even around the mirrors & I cought a big piece on the sunroof rubber seals as well!

The short one is a travel sized toothbrush without the handle/plastic case.
I use that & the red brush to dig out dried up wax on the textured black plastic trim.
I cut the bristles down with a razor to make them stiffer.
The yellow one is soft enough to dig out fresh wax from the crackies without scratching the paint.
The big brown brush i use to remove light dust around the steering wheel & vents.

Thanks for looking!

Known what hacks dealership detailers ( that term used very loosely) I would have asked for them to remove that wax from the trim. However all they would have done is mask it over.

What a crappy way for a dealership to deliver an expensive car like that!

Nice work!!! BA

lol thanks angelo. you know what they do, rush the detail bc the guy was probably waiting when he was picking it up. they are better off just handing over the keys & giving the car to the customer dirty!
