Default Sully's Detailing: BMW 135i

South Florida's Premiere Detailing Service.

Let me start off by saying this car is brand new only had 300 miles on it. The owner called me Wednessday saying he just bought it and wanted all the swirls taken out. So I started working on the car at 8am. Adam let me barrow his Flex DA and man it works really well.

** Hardest color to get before pictures. The swirls would not show up.

The car a light swirls over the whole car and the black trim at heavy water spots on it. Besides that the car was in good shape there was water spots on it but they where not etched into the clear coat. I started at 8am today and finished at 2pm. After I cleaned the wheels I applied DP Wheel Glaze and they just really made the wheels pop.

Looks nice. Have you ever tried Wolfgangs paint sealant 2.0? Put that on and wait til it cures for 12 hours and then put a coat of caruanuba wax on top,

My fault, maybe it is 3.0 I have. Did not want to run down to the garage to check, but that stuff is amazing compared to Klasse,

Let it sit on the car for 20-45 mintues then wipe off. After 12 hours you can apply another coat or a wax like megs #16 or Pinnacle Souveran

I use Meguairs hi-tech #26 after Wolfgangs paint sealant cures. www.autogeek.com is a great site for information and produsts, I Pinnacle makes Wolfgang. Here is my Durango after I polished (medium and then fine), clayed, applied paint sealant, and then carnauba wax:

For red cars try Pinnacle Liquid Souveran it will look wetter. It made for dark cars. I order all my supplies from them. they offer 101 and 102 classes now. I was part of the 1970 MGB extreme make over.

Meg #16 is alot better then #26 IMO. You can only order it from ebay now

Thanks, I will try the #16 as my #26 is almost gone. I try to wax it every other month and do a full detail every six months. I have some Pinacle as it came with the DA orbitor my wife got me a few years ago. I can send it to you if you want, but I will like to try the Souveran even though it is $100.00 a can. I will PM you the Pinnacle stuff I have, but do not want. I will send it to you for free as I hate to waste things,
