Default Presidential Detailed: 2007 BMW 328i

This car is owner by a friend of mines mother. It is garage kept and kept up relatively well. There was very minimal swirling in the paint even over the year or so she has owned it, I think Ill give the credit to BMW's awesome clearcoat! I only had a day and a morning to work on this one, I spent most of the day just claying the car. In my experience with white cars, the most notable difference is before and after claybarring the vehicle. This car happened to have A LOT of fall out and exhaust soot embedded into the paint. Anyways on to the pics!

Dawn Soap Pre-Wash
Optimum Car Wash-Final Wash
COBRA UMF Wash Mitt
COBRA Delux "Jr" MF's

Meguairs APC+
Meguairs Hyperdressing
Menzerna SIP/White
Menzerna Top Inspection
Tons of Uber MF Towels(AP)
Black WOW
Griots Garage Wheel Cleaner Gel
Swissvax Pneu


LSP:

Tools:

It is normal dish soap, I use it to strip all the previous waxes or whatever else has been applied to the car..

Are you on floridatruckscene.com? I see you have a minitruck, you should come out to QSL this Friday, we are having a minitruck meet!
