BMW ///Msport Idrive X5 corected and protected by KC's

Collecting A new car may seems to be a joyous occasion and having to share with your beloved it wonderful moments!
I was called to attend to protecting this awesome ride
we have to drive for 2 hours to details this

some pictures taken during wash

stained side steps

more stains from side steps, cant believe from a new car??? new car doesnt means just built...this is a CBU unit , for it came a long long way! shipment from Germany, by sea, held up at custom dock till it is clear, then drove to stock yard, then deliver to state dealer and thus the local dealer

imagine the amount of contaminats it was exposed to

brushing away with OPC

more stains discover at every rubber anti slip area


mnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....lots of work

here is a clearer evident

the culprit ....anti rust dropping ....stained ....

anti rust ...is applied to the inner door body to prevent rust, some how when it is melt...it stained everywhere like a glue or chewing gum

Looks great! As a former X3 owner, I understood every X3, X4,X5 and X6 to supply the world are only made in SC? I remember wanting the big turbo diesels which are made in SC but are all exported and not sold in the US.

I believe the X1 is still made in Germany.

When I ordered my custom X3 only took 3 weeks to build and arrive from SC to TX.

You did a great job on the X5 and it looks great!

TIPs when collecting your new car ...please park it in an open air to get a proper viewing of the paint....overall condition

ah ha........that show this was prior detail before me and the detailer probably do not realised this was not done correct or in a correct manner


meaning to say in simple
This new car was send to a detailer prior delivery

now the question is WHY? WHAT happen? why does this new car require a detailing service???

Sad to see and say....even new car ...uncorrected cars are whacked prior delivery

eg
hologram found........!!!!!!


many would not have imagine why? and even asked
you may have many answers....eg

the car from Germany Manufacturing plant produce and kept the stock in the yard, later was transfers to dock at harbor! boarded the ship hence....arriving to bonded area! later transfers to HQ/ Capital stock yard and hence fort to dealer branch ...being exposed to many sun rain in the open area
the contaminant from rain and industrial fall out may have smear and created some contaminant/stains

henceforth was sent to a detailer....ended whacked while it being detail

some finishing photo










i am amazed to see how a 3 years old F10 ///M5 coated ...still looks goood....to read more here
