Good day detailers!! New client was the first one to contact me via a card placed on his drivers side window out of over 800 cards handed out all over Grand Rapids, Mi!! Be persistent detailers and never give up!! Vehicle was bought at an auction. Onward we go! It was raining out, so prep photo's are limited....had to bring it into the garage for it's Iron-X treatment. It looked like a murder scene there was SO much contamination on it... Rear deck lid & bumper... Front end....good grief!!! Oh yeah, did I mention it has 197,000 miles on it?? Has it ever been detailed properly?? Rear deck lid...solid purple... Aftermath of 7 minutes soaking... Backed it out to rinse and clean engine...in the rain at 38*...it aint freezing yet, so detail on!! Months ago I bought some 1Z (or Z1) hard plastic cleaner and did a couple test sections...WOW!! This stuff rocks!!! Spray, agitate and wipe...DANG!! Love these cars!! Onto exterior concerns.... Roof roof ruff ruff... Areas had been repainted. Passenger side front fender lower...clumps of dirt...oh why do people try and paint that dont have a clue....just saying... Pigtails in primer/filler...cant touch this.. Masking tape leftovers from painting.. Trunk lid... Hood shot's...Whaaat... Weapon of choice... Let's do this! Two passes...nice!! Missing a lot of pic's, but basically ran into a ton of heavy over spray on drivers side and switched over to my Makita Rotary, Meg's 205 cut with water and a white foam cutting pad. Car was barkin, kicking and throwin fits, but managed to show it who the boss is! Went over after correcting with Meg's Finishing wax and sealed with PowerLock. Glass and rims were coated with Sonax Polymer Netsheild. Found this and advised client to keep an eye on it...man this stinks!! Engine looking proper.. OOPPSS...wrong mileage.. Done!! Simply classy...awaiting client pick up. I waited a LONG time for my first BMW detail. It was worth it!! Upon pick up, client was "beyond stunned", first stating this is NOT the same car! WOW!! WOW!!! WOW!!! Hoover, when we talked in your garage and you laid out the plan for this car, I tried to envision it, but I seriously had NO IDEA it would look like this!! This was a great 20 hours invested and a very happy client!! Detail on people...detail on!! Pursue and run down that dream! Do not quit or give up!! Have a great evening. Hoover
Excellent work as usual. A huge transformation! And those Iron-X shots...man, you're garage is gonna stink for a long time! LOL
