CN: Jet Black is the WORST color to own, no other color compares. It is impossible, BMW should make people sign a notice when they agree to buy this color
This car has less than 800 miles on it. The owner brought it to a local "Detail Spa" and it was wrecked
As you can see in some pictures, holograms everywhere, buffer trails from a WOOL pad covering the hood...
The Process...
Exterior:
1. Rinsed down the wheels
2. Sprayed down the wheels with Megs WB cut 4:1
3. Brush and cleaned the wheels (shmitt wheel mitt)
4. Rinsed down the wheels
5. Filled the bucket with water for the rinse (2 bucket method)
6. Filled the foam gun and soaked the car (let lather for 5-7 min)
7. Shmitt to wash the car (THSR - Top Hood Sides Rear)
8. Thoroughly rinse
9. Spot clay - because I had clayed the car a week prior (clay using Sonus green - and Prima "Slick" detail spray)
10. Car is clayed and dried (dry using WW)
11. Menzerna 106FF @ 1400-1800 to polish out any imperfections. (thanks Zippybmr - aka Matt for the HUGE help)
-Hood, Trunk, Sides were 1400rpm using LC yellow pad
-Convertible "Hard Top" was 1800rpm using LC yellow pad (hard as HECK:huh
12. Wipe down excess after polishing.
13. Heads, tails, fogs got ZAIO (zaino-all-in-one)
14. Exhaust tips got Adams 1
15. LSP - Megs #16
Interior:
1. Wiped down the door jambs with Prima "Slick" detail spray
2. Vacuumed the mats, carpet, etc.
3. Wiped down the interior and used Z9 on the leather
4. Wiped down the dash with a MF towel
5. Cleaned the glass (Stoners IG)
Engine:
1. Rinse with pressure washer
2. Megs APC cut 4:1
3. Rinse again
4. Dry using leaf blower and MF WW
5. 303 Aerospace protectant to all plastics/hoses etc.
Before Shots (Car was just cleaned by the owner prior to me - a few days earlier - as you can tell it does not appear dirty)
Swirls were present...
Shot of the holograms - streaking...
After Shots:
