This little Coupe BMW M-Sport 125 arrived to us in a pretty average state, considering this was recently purchased and sold to the new owner in the condition you see below!
What can be seen and found was heavy water spotting, dirt and other contaminants throughout the whole body and of course caked on brake dust (Standard to BMW’s).
■ Full Exterior Paint Correction & Decontamination
■ Leather Rejuvenation & Cleanse + Protection
■ Interior Clean & Protect
■ Paint Protection
■ Wheels Protection
■ Glass Polish & Sealant
Total time of correction: Too long.
Due to the contoured body and awkward angles like many modern cars, we used a few different polishers to correct the paintwork;- DAS6 Pro (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/car_care_products/ro_polisher_das6_pro_kit_lake_country), RUPES LHR15 Bigfoot (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/rupes/bigfoot_polisher_lhr15e), Festool RAP80 and the Mint Rotary Polisher (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/mint_protools/rotary_polisher)also.
Combining these with the Menzerna Polishers (FG500 (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/menzerna/fast_gloss_fg500-0), PF2500 (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/menzerna/menzerna_power_finish_302_pf2500_250ml_size)and SF4000 (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/menzerna/menzerna_super_finish_po85re_sf4000_250ml)) which were perfect for correcting the BMW’s Ceramic Clear paintwork.
Paintwork protected with multiple products, as a test guinea pig – 22PLE VX1 Pro, Nanolex Ultra (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/nanolex/paint_and_alloy_protection_kit_ultra), Secret Squirrel 1, Dodo Juice Infinity (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/dodo_juice/supernatural_infinity_paint_sealant_kit) and Secret Squirrels Friend.
Interior trim & plastics cleaned with 1Z Einszett Deep Plastic Cleaner (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/einszett_1z/plastic_and_vinyl_cleaner) and dress with 1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/einszett_1z/cockpit_premium_interior_plastic_cleaner) which also adds a layer of protection whilst leaving the trim with a gloss-free satin/matte finish.
Leather[u] received a deep cleanse with Leatherique Oil – in short this product being is applied by hand to your leather seats to rejuvenate and bring the embedded dirt, dye transfer and other contaminants to the surface to be followed with Dodo Juice Supernatural Leather Cleaner to remove the dirt/contaminants (we must say, definitely our favourite leather cleaner to date! Left a beautiful completely matte finish and removed an incredible amount of dirt that wasn’t even near visible even on cars with ‘apparent’ clean leather!)
This process is usually only recommend for those who know a car they have purchased or own has had neglected leather.
1Z Einszett Leather Care (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/einszett_1z/leather_care) applied once the seats were dry to bring back that original BMW leather scent (BMW owners will know what we are talking about), as well adding the final touch of soft and supple leather feeling once like it was when new. Protected & Sealed with Nanolex Leather & Textile Sealant.
[u]Engine Bay[u] was cleaned with a mixture of 1Z Einszett W99 APC along with a combination Vikan Engine & Surrounds Brushes, Mint Detail Brushes and the Vikan Wheel & Arch Brushes. Dressed with 1Z Vinyl & Rubber Protectant
[u]Arches Cleaned with W99 & Vikan Wheel & Arch Brush and dressed with 1Z Einszett Vinyl & Rubber Protectant.
Glass Polishes using Nanolex Premium Glass Polish and sealed with Nanolex Urban Glass Sealant (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/nanolex/glass_sealant_kit_urban_complete). This will offer sheeting/beading for water, dirt and other contaminants for up to 12 months almost before reapplication is needed.
Tyres dressed again with Dodo Juice Supernatural Tyre Dressing (http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/dodo_juice/supernatural_tyre_dressing) leaving a semi-gloss finish.
Other products also used can be seen throughout images below.
Any questions or information, please do not hesitate to ask us!
