Rasky's Auto Detailing: 2011 BMW 335i

[RaskyR1]

This car belongs to a new client of mine and it was in for a 2-step correction and interior detail. Overall it was in very good condition, as it should be for a newer car with less than 10k miles. However the car does and will continue to see full service washes so there was some light wash induced marring. Initial PTG readings on the car were also lower than what I've seen in the past with average readings only in the 110-120 micron range. After seeing this I called the owner and suggest we stay on the milder side rather than going for 100% correction, especially since it will continue to see full service washes this winter.

Given the color and condition of the car I was unable to capture the defects in the paint, but the general condition can be seen in the black trim. Interior was very clean too so pics are limited.

Process:

Wash - ONR
Tires - OPC
Wheels - Sonax Full Effect
Clay - Blackfire clay and ONR as lube
Paint correction step 1 - Updated Optimum Hyper Compound, GG6, MF cutting pad (Megs)
Paint correction step 2 - Updated Optimum Hyper Polish, GG6, LC tangerine foam pad (trim finished with Menz Micro Polish)
Glass - Megs D120
Interior vinyl - Cockpit Premium
Leather - Leather Masters Strong Cleaner/Protection Cream
Carpet/matts - Folex and LGM
Exhaust tips - Optimum Metal Polish
LSP - FK1000p (2 coats)


First up. removing the dealer badge on the back

Paint condition can be seen here on the trim

One minor scuff here which came out rather easily

Working on the trim

All better

The only real concern area on the interior was the light colored leather seats as they were showing dirt build-up/dye transfer already.

Don't forget this area

Nice job Chad! That 50/50 on the seat was pretty wild considering the low miles.

Great work Chad, how do you like the new Updated Optimum Hyper Compound and Polish?

Thanks Angelo! I like them so far but I haven't had a chance to really test them out yet, let alone on a black car. They are a big time saver for Opti-Coat jobs though. :bigups

Thanks Mike! The owner had no idea they were even dirty until I showed him the pics.

Thanks Troy.


Same as the paint on the body but they Hyper Polish didn't leave them looking as nice as I wanted so I followed it up with Micro Polish and a crimson LC pad.

Hi Chad - VERY impressive - I'm new here, so I don't know of this breaks a rule or not, but approx - (within 100) what did the customer pay for a job of this magnitude?

 

[RaskyR1]

Thanks guys!


Glen, I sent you a PM.
