So I have already used the Rupes machines for many hours, I thought it was a great time to detail them.

the real problem here is what is Ron going to do now with all that open shelving real estate?

Lol I have an S7. Be careful grass is about the same when it comes to autocorrect.
I will type in something like "damn" and it will auto correct it to "damb" lol
Maybe my fingers are just too stubby.

2016 Alpine White BMW 430i with around 6000K miles on it. Had not been washed/ detailed since November. Lots of tar and road grime. Owner was desperate to have it cleaned up before today as they had family in from out of time so I used my WFH day yesterday to get it done hehe.
Total time for both exterior and interior was about 7 hours. It really was in bad shape when it came in and I had to clay areas 2 or 3 times to remove as much as I could without inducing marring since I was not doing any polishing. Removed a lot of left over adhesive that was previously missed by others.
Products used:
CarPro Reset
PBs Foam and Soak
Gyeon Mitt, Silk Dryer/ PFM, and other assorted MFs
Iron X / Tar X
Blackfire Poly Clay/ Nano Skin Glide
CarPro Reload LSP/ Optimum Spray Wax as a topper
Mckees 37 fast metal polish on exhause
Wheels - AngelWax Bilberry Wheel Cleaner, Megs Degreaser, various brushes and sealed with Hydro 2
Engine - Megs Degreaser, APC, various brushes and dressed with 303 aerospace
Interior - Mckees QID, Megs APC 4:1, PERL, various brushes
A few pictures:
I polished up the piano black B pillars as well because the swirls here just get to me.
I learned a few things:
Need to dial in my process a bit more and be more organized so I am not wasting time running around more so on these day turn around for bigger jobs. Not an issue so much when I have a car for 2-3 days which is usually the case.
I hate interiors. I feel I do not have adequate lighting in the car. Need to buy one of those LED claw lights.
I need to get some bandanna`s because in the Atlanta heat/ humidity I drip sweat everywhere. lol

I am with you on that. I feel like I am always scrambling and wasting time. LED light stand really helps with the interior too so you won`t regret picking that up. Car looks fantastic btw.
All finished up. Had one mishap that I have to fix next week when I help with the new wheels. One the the emblems was falling apart and scratched the passenger side door and I didn`t have any machines with me. This car has fought me since the beginning. Applying EXOv3 after the first coat four days later wasn`t the greatest either. Difficult to buff off.
