Rasky's Auto Detailing
This car was a referral from the recent pair of new BMW's I did for another owner. I had asked the owner to instruct the dealer not to touch the car outside of the required PDI work and it was brought to me the day after delivery. As you will see by the pictures, no dealer prep doesn't always guarantee a defect free new car. For the most part the car was in great shape with only some adhesive residue from the protective wrap and light swirls. There where however a few isolated scratched areas and a long scuff about 1 inch high the extended from the rear wheel well to the front wheel well.
Process:
Wash - ONR
Wheels - Sonax Full Effect
Tires - OPC, dressed with Megs Hyper Dressing at 3:1
Decon - IronX, TarX, and mild clay
Paint correction - D300/MF on isolated areas, whole car with OPT Hyper Polish on the DA with OPT MF Finishing pads
Coating Prep - IPA wipe down follow by Eraser wipe down
Coating - 2 coats CQuartz Finest on paint, trim, lights. Accelerated curing with IR lamp. (Wheels coated with Opti-Guard)
Glass - Megs D120
Before pics
Adhesive from protective wrap
The was a nice sized "Love Tap" on the rear bumper cover
Beginning on the scuff that ran down the passenger side of the car...only small portions of it show up as the narrow beam of the light hits it. (rear quarter/bumper cover)
Quarter panel/rear door
Rear door
Front door
Fender
Scratches on the hood
Sonax doing work
The small holes on some BMW wheels are hard to clean with lugs brushes and such. LOL...a clip from the movie "Dude Where's My Car" actually gave me this idea one day.
I take a small wooden or plastic dowel (old paint brush here) and wrap a MF cloth around it.
Temp/Humidity in the shop prior to coating
