Finally since Monday I have supposed to of been doing this lovely BMW Z4 enhancment and today the weather was excellent and time was now. Ashish had washed the car prior to me coming over by the looks of things so I wasn’t going to bore everyone with the before. Products used: AS duet AS G101 AS smart wheels AS tardis AS tango AS reglaze AS highstyle AS brushwash ( as foam ) AS waffle towel Poorboys world trim restorer. Meguiars quick clay Meguiars lambswool washmitt Meguiars microfiber mitt Meguiars NXT all metal polish BT brushes Meguiars upholstery brush EZ detail brush Dodo juice wash/rinse buckets Dodo juice lime prime Supagaurd babric gaurd Smartwax rimwax Rubbish boys original edition hard wax Milwaukie rotary polisher Lake country 8” foamed wool pad 3M yellow polishing pad Various microfibers ranging from BT waork towels to poorboys DMT towels Sweat............. Lots of it! Time spent in total 6 hours. Wheels rinsed then foam sprayed with AS smart wheels, agitated with EZ detail brush and various BT brushes then washed down with meguiars microfiber wash mitt including all backs of spokes then rinsed thoroughly. Cleaned all soft top with AS G101 and meguiars upholstery brush then rinsed ( process undertaken twice ) Pre-sprayed all relevant lower sectons and arches with AS G101 then agitated arches again with the EZ detail brush, thorough rinse of whole vehicle then foamed with AS brushwash and left to dwell. Washed 2BM with AS duet then misted with AS tango and rinsed thoroughly. All lower sections treated with AS tardis then rinsed once again. Clayed using meguiars quick clay and AS reglaze as lube. Re-washed then dried with AS waffle towel. Heres the swirly issues in there greatest glory yum yum! You get the idea. Drivers wing before: And after: Bonnet looking lovely: Hazed over due to poor finishing by the bodyshop it had previously been to: As you can see, the fnish was impared and looking very dull and unhappy. 50/50 of the bonnet: Bonnet complete: Plenty of life and a more vibrant look finally. Yet another 50/50 on the passenger door: Polishing process was undertaken via milwaukie rotary, lake country 8” foamed wool pad and menzerna power finish to cut a number of swirls and scratches down marginally if not completely removed with one hit. Refined using dodo juice lime prime on a 3M yellow polishing pad and worked to death to give as much depth as possible. LSP was tricky as I was going down the collinite route but it was a nice warm day and I felt the car needed a nice carnauba warming glow. Ive had rubbishboys OE for quite some time now and thought “why not?” Great wax, first ever hard wax ive used, felt thick when applying but after curing the results were spectactular. All trm ( what trim there was ) dressed with poorboys world trim restorer. Tyres/arches dressed with AS highstyle. Wheels sealed with smartwax rimwax. Roof protected with supagaurd fabric gaurd. Exhuast cleaned with meguiars NXT all metal polish. And the final piccies for some drooling: Thanks for looking.

Cheers John. The results were good on the car, I wished the client wanted to press further on as I know the paint would of come out even better.
