Client’s new vehicle. Wanted some correction and protection. Paint was in decent shape, typical swirls. I fell in love with the interior and the specs on this thing! A little big, but man, what a machine! And it sounds great with the factory M sport exhaust. (this beast is faster to 60 than a lot of performance cars!)

The ‘details’:

Adam’s wheel cleaner.
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
McKee’s37 iron remover.
Gary Dean shampoo.
Medium clay mitt.
McKee’s37 Hydro Blue.
Dried with Master Blaster and PFM.
DeFelsko PTG.
Flex 3401.
Flex Pixie.
Griot’s Fast Correcting Cream.
Griot’s Perfecting Cream.
Optimum Panel wipe.
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
Metro vacuum.
McKee’s37 fast interior detailer.
McKee’s37 total interior cleaner.
GYEON tire

Thanks for looking!






































 
Killer detail! What a vehicle. That interior is NICE.
 
JD, my favorite part of that vehicle! It is awesome!

Thanks there Frank!
 
That interior is awesome. Its not like most BMW performance vehicle interior. You always does a good job so no need to say more.

BTW... I hate the new grills on the new BMW cars. They are not kidney grills anymore. LOL
 
Thank you! I agree, I see the difference in the grills, not their traditional grill anymore.
 
Hey man. Great work! What is your secret for the B pillars in the BMW? They swirl if you look at them too hard.
 
^^^Light polish, polishing pad.

And...thank you!

Like Scott, I use a light polish and corresponding pad. I use CarPro Essence. Pillars are a great place to learn to do PPF. Get a self healing brand. I'm partial to Premium Shield Elite as it's perfectly clear. No plastic orange peel and it's super glossy.

Thanks guys. I've always used M105 by hand with a foam applicator and had 90% success, sometimes more. I'm just expecting a new M3 (yes with the ugly grill :laughing:)in a few months and want to be ready. With my Flex tool, I don't expect to have to break out my rotary for some time, but maybe I'll just leave it setup with a small backing plate for this sort of detail polishing.
 
Beautiful, Scott! I'm also loving the Griots products from your recommendation, both correcting and finishing. Thanks for that.
 
merlin: I think that the 105 is too aggressive for those panels.


Paul: Thank you! Good deal! They are good!!
