    Today's detail is of a brand new 2008 BMW 335i in Sparkling Graphite Metallic. The client took delivery of this vehicle this week (Tues) and opted to not have the dealer prep but have me do it instead. A very wise choice on his part. The paint was immaculate with practically no marring whatsoever. It made this car a joy to work on but with temps in the 90's today in the Northeast it was still tough nonetheless. I am not sure if I could have pulled off a full correction today.

    Process: (6 Hours)

    Presoak with CWG and NXT mix in Foam Gun
    Wash with Ultima Wash Soap and 2 BM
    Clay with Meguiars Clay
    Polish with Zaino AIO via Flex and Megs White 8006 pad
    Polish via PC and LC CCS 4 inch whilte pad in tight areas
    Zaino Z2 ZFX'd x2
    Zaino CS on wheels
    Interior cleaned with Woolite 6:1
    Vinyl dressed with Sonus Total Eclipse
    Leather dressed with Four Star Leather Conditioner
    Wheels cleaned with P21S
    Wheel wells cleaned with Citrus degreaser
    Wheels dressed with Megs Hot Shine Tire Spray
    Glass cleaned with Zep Glass Cleaner
    Engine dressed with CD2 and Sonus Total Eclipse

    Looks great! What did you use to make the lines on the carpet?

    Just a standard shop vac and a regular carpet attachment. Just brush in opposite directions.

    Now *that* is how a BMW should be prepped! Great work as always, Pat.
