<span>Friday - 19:00 to 23:00
The first order of business was removing the horrid attempt by the 'corner car wash' at 'dressing' the interior, dressing it properly and then cleaning and conditioning the leather
Before
Maybe they ran out of product?
Corners are tough so we shall just leave them out completely
During
Plastic trim Clean: APC @10:1 / Brushes / MF Towels / SmartDressing
Leather: APC @20:1 / Brushes / MF Towels / Glossworx Leather Conditioner
Interior Glass: Autoglym Fast Glass / Glass MF Towels
This car only has 17k km's on the clock and is a 1 lady driver owner so you would think the leather on the passenger seat would still be quite clean, but alas, you would be wrong
The matt side has been cleaned, the shiny side not.

Enough ...er....detail..... let's see some pics
Firstly, the car had been washed prior to being bought to me. This showed.....all down the side of the car
Cheap silicone based looking tire dressing which had slung and completely detracted from the otherwise (seemingly) clean look of the car
Let's check what it looked like on the actual tires....
Yip.... looks like a whole chunk of it was blown off the tire and down the side of the car
Tire getting cleaned
Here you can see the embedded iron contamination in the corners of the spokes
And now you can see that the contamination was in fact everywhere on the wheels
And finally clean
The main 'scratch' here actually turned out to be just paint transfer and was easily clayed off the paint.
The paint itself was not too bad, hence my reason for not getting too aggressive on the correction. With the car being new still, clear coat preservation was key.
Tail lights in need of some love too
B-Pillars even more so
There was quite a lot of contamination on the paint though
The exhaust tips before
After
Engine bay before
By the time Sunday came, the weather had again turned miserable so no sun shots yet again. I am detailing a Jerez Black E90 M3 next weekend and am already hoping for sunny weather on Sunday
So here are the 'beauty shots'
