2014 X5 - i am AUTOS

Hey guys, here is an X5 I recently did. Want to share!

Came with 200km on the clock, fresh XPel on the hood, fenders and rockers. Washed it and blasted out the wheel wells

IRON SERUM prior to claying - Either the customer declined the dealer prep or they did a crap job. Fallout everywhere.

All sorts of marring and scratches over the car. Used PA MASTER POLISH and MASTER COMPOUND pad on Rotary and Rupes to clean

Found a deep scratch that had to be sanded prior to polishing

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4676]

Now refined and prepped with PA INVINCIBLE primer polish

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4679]
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4677]

Started to coat completed side with COSMIC coating custom blended to match the Carbon Black 416 paint to give great gloss and colour intensity

While coating cured, worked on the tailgate. Used rotary and 3'' PA pads

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4683]

Some deeper stuff on the other side of the vehicle need to be chased out with the Rupes MF pad and MASTER COMPOUND

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4686]
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4685]
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4690]
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4691]

Everything coming along well. waiting

[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4701]

VIKING COAT on the rims
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4695]
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4697]


Buffed off, then second coat applied, then removed
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4698]
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4703]
[sharedmedia=gallery:images:4704]

Final results!!
