My first attempt to detailing: 325i

[kei169]

Last week, I decided to detail my car for the first time. I was so nervous that I would burn the paint, at the same time, I was so excited to see the result as well. It turned out pretty good to me. I wouldn't be able to take out 100% swirls, but i think 70%.

I wasn't able to take a lot of pics since I was totally exhausted when i was detailing and I was so lazy to take out my camera. :lol::lol::lol:



hope you enjoy!





Total time spent: 14 hours



Wash:

Megular Gold Glass

ONR



Clay:

Fine Grade

ONR as clay lube



Polish:

SIP with Yellow pad

P085RD with orange pad, then white pad

Menzerna inspection



Sealant:

Jet Seal 109



LSP:

Swissvax Concorso

Fuzion



After washing my car, it looked JUST ok.

I clayed the hood only, see how much dirts it has. Can you image how dirty the car is

Some close ups picture on those swirls

Then i taped the car up with 3M 2080 tape, it worked pretty good

After the first pass of SIP, I could see some dramatic improvement already.

After 3 passes of polishing, It looked totally different especially when you see it in person

Then I sealed the car with Jet Seal, Follow up with Fuzion and Concorso, I put Fuzion on the front and rear bumper, the entire car was waxed by Concorso:

Result:

Some Beading shots:

Enjoy!
