Detailer's Domain: BMW 135 - Aquartz Applied
This 1 series came to us in pretty good shape. Not much polishing was needed however a thorough cleaning was necessary and proper prep on the paint and wheels were needed to apply Aquartz and Opti Coat - something the customer was keen on as this is a heavily used daily and also sees the track time.
What was done - Exterior - Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes - Tires were spritzed down with Adam’s All Purpose Cleaner and washed down - Wheel wells were cleaned up - Pre Washed with W99 - Iron Cut - Wash down and rinsed - Door jambs were cleaned up - Clayed - Dried - Tires dressed - Masking - Paint Measurement -1 Step - Sonax Perfect Finish - Inspection with Fenix, 3m Sun Gun, Infratech, and natural sunlight - Last Step – Aquartz (3 coats) - Wheels pulled off and treated with Opti Coat 2 - Brake Calipers cleaned and treated with Opti Coat 2 - Wheel wells were cleaned and dressed - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned - Windows were clayed, cleaned, and sealed - Jambs steam cleaned Links to products used - 1Z einszett W99 Iron Cut Adam's All Purpose Cleaner Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner Adam's Undercarriage Spray Uber Clay Bar Kit Sonax Perfect Finish Aquartz Nano Coating Optimum Opti Coat 2 Adam's Super VRT Adam's Metal Polish Adam's Glass Cleaner Engine Adam's All Purpose Cleaner Adam's In and Out Spray Interior 1Z einszett Cockpit 1Z einszett Leathercare Tools used Uber Wool Wash Mitt Uber No Name MF Towels Flex PE14-2-150 Uber Buffing Pads Defelsko Paint Meter Brinkmann Kranzle Pressure Washer Cam Spray Foam Canon 2 Grit Guard Buckets with Caddies Uber Firehose Nozzle Metro Air Force Blaster Interior Before http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5659.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5658.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5657.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5656.jpg Metro Vac being used to clean up the interior http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5716.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5717.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5718.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5723.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5724.jpg After http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5829.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5826.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5824.jpg Exterior Before http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5662.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5663.jpg Wheels (this was 1 week of brake dust) Before http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5665.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5667.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...z/IMG_5664.jpg |
You all do such a great job......

TSK TSK!! YOU USED THE FRIGGIN JACK TO SUPPORT THE CAR.
... and beautiful job on the detailing :p. How does the opti-coat hold up to the heat of the calipers? Intruiging use of the product there. |
Damn, very nice detailed write up. I really like how you show the products used. I still have to opti-coat my wheels, maybe I will do that tomorrow if I'm not too lazy.

Now that's a full detail...
