This client was a referral. He LOVES this BMW and wanted it looking as good as possible as well as protected from the elements/etc.

The vehicle’s paint was in very good shape with only some minor swirls and scratches. McKee’s37 Fast Cut Polish took care of these minor blemishes. There was a lot of tar on the vehicle and Stoner’s Tarminator made short work of it.
The vehicle was rinseless washed with Adam’s Rinseless wash, clayed with a Griot’s medium mitt, polished out, and then slathered with BEEDS Prime. (primer for BEEDS ceramic coating, it has oh so little cut to it, mostly depending on the pad used).

Rupes 21 MkII, Rupes 3" and iBrid were the machines of choice.

BEEDS HD was the LSP of choice for the paint and trim.

Glass was cleaned with Polish Angel Diver. The wheels came off and the calipers were cleaned with Adam’s APC, non-chlorinated brake cleaner and then treated to McKee’s37 wheel coating. The plastic areas of the wheel wells were also hit with McKee’s wheel coating.

Wheels/tires: Cleaned with Adam’s tire & rubber cleaner and wheel cleaner. Daytona speedmaster brushes were utilized. Adam’s shampoo was used for the final cleaning.
Tire dressing was McKee’s37 High Gloss.

The interior was vacuumed via Metro. The leather was cleaned with Pinnacle leather cleaner. The leather was protected with Ultima Interior Guard Plus.
There were a few areas that needed some chip repair and I utilized factory BMW touch up paint that worked very well.

Thank you for taking the time to read/look at my post!

Beautiful work, as always, Scott! (I cannot imagine having a white leather interior - I'm extremely careful and have strict rules about no food or drink in in all my vehicles, but...)

Thanks everyone!!

PoohBear: I believe I used McKee's 37 Fast Compound-heavy and light with a medium cut pad and then a finishing pad to removed those swirls.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. I'll try this and hopefully get the same results as you did.
