Detailed black BMW X3 (new pics)
The car was fairly messy on the outside, but ok on the innside.
Innside:
-wacum carpets
-Meguiars NXT gen tech protect and MF (cleans well, easy to use)
-Meguiars GC rich leather (easy to use, and not "shiny")
Wash:
-Grit Guard (wow)
-NXT gen wash (great wash, takes the slicknes away, but the car is getting
a detail, so i dont care. Cleans GREAT)
-ShMitt W/Y (wow)
Wheels
-P21s wheel cleaner (needed a stronger cleaner, the job was to "hard"
for the P21s WC, used it 3 times, and still dirty, salt, asphalt etc is not
easy to remove, and i didnt have anny acid cleaner)
-EZ wheel brush (wow)
-ShMitt black (wow)
Clayed with Pinnacle clay (wow)
Drying with the Guzzler (wow) so that was done in a sec.
Placed the car in the pre heated garage 7 hours (dentis, kids school etc)
Detailing:
Step 1
First i had to take on those swirls, got the EDGE kit the same day as i was going to detail, so i used the orange pad and XMT 1 to start. tryed the combo on the door, and it semed to take the swirls out so i caryed on.
I was not sooooo bad, you dont get swirls if you dont wash.............
-XMT 1 (wow)
-Edge Orange pad (wow)
Got a "oily! finish after the XMT 1, but it was gone after DG105 and LS, someone knows why this happens? work it to short/to long? Shouldnt be bonding as the XMT 1 is cleaner (right?) please give reply if u know.
removed with MF towel
Step 2
Wanted to try the DG 105, its winter here, and the owner dont wash the car that often, so i needed something that had longtime protection.
-DG #105 on by hand, Megs pad (easy on, easy of. good gloss, not that slick)
-Remove with MF towel
Removed the DG 105 after 1 hour, and let it cure for 12 h.
Step 3
After curing time was over, i wanted to use the Liquid Souveran to top it,
maaaaaan is this a slick, deep, gloss, shiny looking wax.
-Liquid Souveran (wow)
-Remove MF towel
Next was: Wheel Wax, Meguiars GC trim detailer, Meguiars NXT gen glass cleaner, Meguiars NXT Insane Shine Tire coating.
Enough talk, lets go to the pics.
Before:
After:
Before XMT 1
During XMT 1
After XMT 1
Finish (DG 105 + Liquid Souveran)
More pics coming
Ill say i made 90% out of it, could have used XMT 2, but all in all im pleased with the result, so was the owner.
