Finally got the slight water spots out on our BMW 535i GT

We have had her since mid March and have 5200 miles already. One trip to Savannah and another to the Daytona Beach area. We will be traveling to visit my brother in Columbus, OH (Should have time for a stop at Todd Cooperider's new shop) and then on to northern WV in mid July. IMO the car is nothing short of incredible. Based on the standard 7 series chassis, she weighs in at 4700 lbs. :wacko: The N55 turbo charged 3.5l putting out 300hp and the 8 speed tranny, we have seen 29.5mpg on trips with the cruise set at 79.



After the European Delivery she picked up some slight water spots while waiting for transport. I had removed these on the lower half of the hood prior to getting Xpel ultimate film installed. Finally had a chance to remove the rest from the upper hood, roof (including glass panels) and remaining horz panels last week.



I used M101 3 drops w/ 1 drop of D300 on a Megs MF pad for the compounding step via DB.

Finished with HDs polish white LC flat pad on the DB on all paint.

3x IPA wipedown

Applied 1x of Wolf's Body Wrap

Roof glass panels got Wolf's glass guard.



Last night I washed with Wolf's Nano Shampoo and spritzed Wolf's Nano QD prior to drying.

Zaino Z16 on the tires.



Can't wait to get Wolf's new coating aka Hard Body. Jesse said it can be applied right over Body Wrap.



No photochop here, just gloss. :tongue:

Thanks Chad! Will do.
 
Beautiful ride, the new wheels really upped the look.



I read somewhere that the break pads are being replaced slowly from the ones that dust. How is it on this car?

Thank you Thomas! Yes the newer brake pads on most of the BMW models have much less dust then in the past. Still great braking performance.
