  • Detail: Severe swirls/rids 07 BMW

    Got a call about this one not long ago and that it wasn't in great shape. After inspecting...that couldn't be more true. This one had about 15 hours in it after all compounding, polishing, waxing, and all that jazz.

    Exterior:
    • Washed with Dawn and various MF wash mitts.
    • Wheels & Barrels foamed/cleaned with Chemical Guys Diablo Wheel Gel and various brushes.
    • Wells and tires cleaned with Meguiars APC and various brushes.
    • Embedded contaminants removed with Speedy Prep towel and ONR as lube.
    • Glass cleaned with Meguiars Perfect Clarity Aerosol.
    • Rubber dressed with ShowRoom FX White Pearl.


    Interior:
    • Vacuum/dry brush/vaccum
    • All surfaces were cleaned & protected with Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer.
    • Seats cleaned with Meguiars leather cleaner.
    • Seats conditioned with Meguiars Leather Conditioner.
    • Glass cleaned with Meguiars Perfect Clarity Aerosol.


    Compounding:
    • M101 w/ Meguiars MF cutting disk
    • D300 w/ Meguiars MF cutting disk
    • Followed up by a final wash with Optimum NO rinse and Car pro eraser.
    Wax:
    • Waxed by hand with Wolfgang Fuzion

    Driver side door before:


    The hood had no clarity, deep swirls, RIDS, and medium oxidation.


    This one will show you how bad it really was:


    More swirls and oxidation:


    Roof was showing some of the same characteristics:


    After removing the license plate and cleaning it, it showed some oxidation as well:


    After some compounding:

    After:


    50/50 shot on the roof:


    Finally getting some clarity back on the roof:






    Lower kicks:


    Not one inch of the finish went un touched:


    Remember the door before:


    And now a few true side by side pics for comparison:


















    Side note. M101 kicks so much butt for some major correcting with the Meguiars MF disks. I tried M105 and while it was cutting, didn't provide it fast enough with my PC. The M101 also finished down much nicer to be followed up with D300 that removed the slight haze and left this girl LSP ready.

    I'm going to need to get in touch with Meguiars Tech to see about getting some of these MF disks replaced. I had 3 delaminate from the felt on the back. And I had a brand new one that only had a few passes on it delaminate from the MF material on the front from the foam....Haven't ran into that one before.

    Questions/Comments always welcome.
    Thanks for checking it out!

    Looks great. How did you obtain M101?

      Received it from a buddy of mine. Have a nice handle on a bunch of it for my personal stash.

          It's a pretty penny for sure but worth it in my opinion.
