Labor of Love

My 428i M-sport finally got delivered last week (Thanks to David @ SteveThomas).......I did a full detailing/polish/sealant/wax on the car....I'm very happy with the results....what do you guys think ??? I highly recommend Chemical Guys Products!!!!!!!

Here is what I did:

1. Washed and dried the car

2. washed Wheels

3. Clayed entire car

4.deep polishing

5. Jet Seal Sealant (2 separate coats)


6. Lava Caranuba Wax
[IMG][/IMG]
[IMG][/IMG]

7. Waxed Wheels (brake dust with Msport Brakes is ridiculous!!!!)

[IMG][/IMG]

8. Conditioned Leather

Final results after 8 hours of labor (some products require curing time)

Looks great. What did you use to wax your wheels? Did you take them off to wax it all, or just the outer portion?

Gorgeous car! I have to say, that "Chemical Guys" has to be the worst branding this side of 2005 (the whole green movement to blame). Good to hear this brand does such a great job.

I didnt take the wheels off as the car is only 1 week old so they are not that bad....Here is what I used to clean and wax them........on a side note, I went out last night and drove for about 40 miles in mixed traffic. When I got back to my house, I inspected the wheels for dust and in was minimal compared to prior to waxing....I will wax again this coming weekend to add another layer and hopefully it will last long.

you don't need to combine a selant AND a wax. you should decide on whether to use the sealant OR the wax. their ingredients are totally different.

Car looks good, but the qualitiy of the photos is poor. If i would detail a car, I would use a quality DSLR cam You will see the difference

First off I wanted to say thank you again for your business! We all here at Steve Thomas BMW very much appreciate it! Second off car looks fantastic! I was looking into some of the products Chemical Guys make and looks like you had a very good outcome so I am going to buy a few of their stuff and give it a try!

Enjoy the new ride

Nice work documenting your process!

I have to say, for protecting my rims from break dust, I've had to leave the wheel paste solution for a spray on solution because cleaning 403M style wheels is an arduous job. Did it a few times, and I'd spend hours on the job, for little gain. The break dust would cake within the week. This Armor All spray protectant has done wonders. I put them on, and break dust is considerably less.

Congrats on the new f32, car looks great and I definitely know what you mean with (brake dust with Msport Brakes is ridiculous!!!!). I basically have the same upset. I don't know how well the armor wheel/rim protectant works for brake dust, but it gives a really good shine to my matte graphite aftermarket rims. Great Photos and hard work goes into detailing!!!! For the best job you have to do it yourself.
