Default Detailing 101 ( BMW X3 )

Hi guys

I have an X3 in for minor paint correction. The paint was pretty sorry and the goal was to remove 50%+ paint defects. The interior was not bad...just wipe down and vacuum was all that it needed.

here's the process

Clean wheels & tires, tar and iron removal
Foam with OPC via Kranzle k1120T + Foam cannon
2BM wash, followed with Tar & Iron removal
Clay bar treatment
IPA wipedown, blow and towel dried
Masking tape
Polished with GG 5in & 3in DA polishers via Uber green pad with Menz powerfinish
Rewash- IPA wipedown- Paint cleanse with CG Blacklight
3 coats of Opti-seal
Interior wipedown and vacuum
Dress tires, seal wheels with Opti-seal
Cleanse glass with DG105 and clean with AF crystal

Thanks for looking!!
Please feel free to question or comment!

Great job. Thank you for sharing.
How long does it take you to detail a car like that?
