This was a referral from the bimmer shop.
For almost a ten year old car it was in good shape. I don't think it was ever clayed. Some tar on the rear right bumper, and a dime size tree sap drop on right rear quarter.
Wheels & Tires
Sprayed them with citrus degreaser, and let it dwell for a min. Dawn soap with a wheel brush cleaned them up nicely. Surf City's Tire Pro applied after detail was done.
The Wash
Stoner's Xenit cleaner & remover on the tar. After I sprayed the tar, you could just see it start to melt off. And it also took off the tree sap too.
I clayed the car while it was being washed, to save a few steps. The black wheel shmitt and dawn cleaned the rest of the bimmer.
Interior
A water/woolite mix on the leather for cleaning. Conditioned with Danase leather Rx
Dp Interior Surface Protectant on dash/door/console. And one of the best carpets cleaners- DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. This is the best I have used to date. Made the light gray carpets look like new again.
The Gameplan
The bimmer looked so much brighter after it was clayed. I went with the PC and a org low profile pad. With XMT360 this is a great combo right there. Taped off the trim and around sun roof, took just a few minutes.
One of the things I love about XMT360 is how well it works. In cleaning the paint, fixing some minor corrections. And then it is sealed for months.
