I did this new M5 a little while ago, but hadn't done the writeup on it yet. The plan for this car was to prep the paint for it to be wrapped in clear film to protect it. But this wasn't for just the front end....every surface of this beast would be wrapped by the best in the business: Premier Films. Even though it only had about 900 miles, it had a fair amount of swirls and scratches throughout. A 2 stage correction was chosen to sort out the imperfections so the car would look great with the clear film covering all the paint. Since the film would lock in any imperfections, a high level of correction was required. A total of about 25 hours went into this car.
Upon arrival, the car looked quite good, as you'd expect with such low mileage.
A preview of the swirls waiting for me....
The wheels needed some attention.
Gloss-It Wheel Gel was used to safely clean the wheels of all grime and brake dust.
Clean all the way to the inside of the wheel
The Pre-wash foaming to loosen dirt to reduce the chance of marring during the washing phase.
Washed with the 2 Bucket Method with 2 Grit Guards and a brand new Pinnacle MF wash mitt.
Claying the car with Pinnacle green clay and ONR as clay lube
