Auto Obsessed New Vehicle Prep Detail – 2018 BMW 440i Gran Coupe

Auto Obsessed performed a New Vehicle Detail to this 2018 BMW 440i Gran Coupe. The exterior underwent a full decontamination wash including iron and tar removal. The wheels, wheel wells, doorjambs, exhaust, and engine bay were extensively detailed with a host of OBSSSSD Premium Products. XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection Film was then applied to the full front end and areas that are most prone to damage. We then primed painted surfaces with CarPro Essence and finished the vehicle in CarPro CQuartz Professional Ceramic Coating.

CarPro CQuartz Professional is a professional only product and can only be applied by or sold to official CarPro accredited installers. Auto Obsessed is an accredited dealer and installer of CarPro CQuartz Professional. CarPro CQuartz Professional represents the ultimate development of the CarPro line of advanced nanotechnology coatings. Backed by a 2-Year CarPro Certified Warranty, CQuartz Professional offers a high gloss and rich finish, with great scratch resistance.
