Default Detailing 101 ( BMW 540I )

Hi guys

I have a BMW 540i M sport in for an enhancement detail. Same owner of the X3 I did before, the owner was thrilled and wanted something for his daily driver. He had some concern with some RIDs and I taken care most of them for him. I also made a video upon the owner's request, so I hope you guys enjoy!



Please feel free to question and comment!
Thanks for looking!
Franki

Hey aren't you that guy that likes muslim chick ****?




Anyway, OP

You did an AWESOME job on the Beemer!

So, how much would a job like this run? I know prices can vary depending on the type and size of vehicle...

And can you add a step by step process and chemicals used in the video(so you are not "promoting services without being a sponsor") lol

How do you like the nanoskin? I have been on the fence about it. I don't do a lot of cars so it will take a few to pay for itself.

I tend to keep prices b/w the owner and myself, all I can say is that he had 3 cars done with me. but you can expect anywhere b/w $100-$200 depending on what your Z needs, then again I dunno you area...

sure, I will list the chemicals I used, as the process is shown in the video
  • Wheels got optimum powerclean 3:1, Wolfs de-ionzer, Stoners tarminator, various brushes, Kranzle k1120T powerwasher
  • Paint Foam with optimuim powerclean, washed with Meg shampoo plus, 2 buckets + grit guards, uber mitt and sponge
  • Dried with MF towels
  • Blow dry with metro blower
  • IPA wipedowns
  • Nanoskin auto scrub
  • Paint polished with werkstat prime strong
  • Paint protected with 3 coats of optimuim opti-seal
  • Tires dressed with swissvax penu

The 3 in auto scrub fail on my 2nd detail...apparently I was told that I can't used it whens its a hot day inside my garage and it can't come it contact with any solvent. but a clay is different....I just leave it in cold water in hot days like 97F outside...and no problem. Clay comes it contact with solvent? no problem...just rinse.... This Auto scrub is done! it melted
