I did this detail sometime back in October, but never got around to posting it. Ive been pretty busy and as business picks up, I spend less and less time here on Autopia.
This customer contacted me after seeing my work on FerrariChat and we set up a detail for his play car (F430). He also had an E60 M5, but his lease was ending the next week and he didnt see a reason to spend the $$ detailing it only to hand it back to the dealership.
I started off with the Ferrari and finished the day with the X5:
Ferrari had 160 miles and the owner chose not to have it heavy polished (not to mention it had LOTS of clearbra). My process was as follows:
1) Mothers Gold Wash
2) Dry with Pak Shak WW towels
3) Wheels cleaned with PB Spray and Rinse (Diluted 50:50)
4) NO Tire Shine whatsoever was to be applied per owners request.
5) Engine wiped down (though owner chose not to have it detailed)
6) Blue Magic Metal Polish on the Muffler Body.
7) All ClearBra polished with Plexus (including rear plastic window)
8) Paint hit with RMG followed by Souveran as LSP
9) Convertible top cleaned with Raggtop cleaner
10) Interior Vacuumed and cleaned with Sonus Cockpit Detailer
11) Windows cleaned with NXT Glass Cleaner
12) Engine Cover polished (BAD waterspots) with Einzinett Glass Polish
I think thats about it. I didnt take any before pictures as the car really didnt look so bad...just dusty and I didnt notice the bonnet spots until I began drying. On to the afters:
I also did his Wife's X5 in the back of the last picture...Ill save that for another thread to be posted shortly. :spot
Thanks for looking!
P.S. If you want Hi-Res images, please remove the ".sized" from the picture URLs
