Long time no detail! I've been uber busy with my other jobs and trying to figure out insurance and my LLC for my business. Today we got back into the groove with my friend's X5. It took about 4 and a half hours in the 100 degree Texas sun. For being 7 years old, the bmw really wasn't in that bad of shape. Here's what it looked like when we she was dropped off:
Have they been off-roading?
They we're keyed and somebody did a BAD repair job!
First, the tires and wheel wells were sprayed with Bleeche-White and then scrubbed. The rims and fender wells were then shot with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner Plus and scrubbed as well. Next, all body crevices, emblems, and seals were sprayed with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner Plus and scrubbed with a SM Arnold Detail Brush. The car was then washed from top to bottom with Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo using Microfiber Wash Mitts and a Grit Guard. Finally, the car was blown dry with an Echo backpack blower and microfiber drying towels. While the car was drying we applied M40 Vinyl & Rubber to the wheel wells and exterior plastic trims. We also applied Meguiar's Tire Shine to the tires. This is what the interior looked like:
Almost all the surfaces were cleaned with our new SteamFast Steam Cleaner. After they were cleaned, all the plastics and rubbers were coated with Meguiar's Natural Shine. The floor mats were then lightly sprayed with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner Plus, scrubbed, and extracted with our Bissell Little Green Machine with ProHeat. Certain interior spots were sprayed with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner Plus and scrubbed with a microfiber towel. The leather seats were also scrubbed with cotton terry towels and with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner Plus. All the windows were then cleaned with Meguiar's Detailer Line Glass Cleaner. Here is what the final interior looked like:
We applied Meguiar's ColorX by hand. With the interior looking 10 times better, and the paint now reflecting as it should, here is what the final product looked like:
Thanks for looking!
