Detailer's Domain: BMW 750i Black Black /Swissvax Saphir

Alright its been a couple weeks since I've posted any write ups. Here is a 750i black/black.

The customer asked about durability but when he saw that there was less depth and clarity he asked that I top it off with Swissvax Saphir. I guess we will see how long the FMJ and Swissvax combo will hold up in the next month or two...

Time: about 7-8 hours

Take a look:
Products Used:
Adam's Car Wash
Adam's Clay Bar with Adam's Detail Spray as lube
Adam's VRT
Adam's Glass Cleaner
Adam's Undercarriage
Adam's Metal 1 and Metal 2
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
P21S Autowash
Menzerna SIP
Menzerna 106
Menzerna FMJ
Swissvax Saphir
Einszett Leathercare
Einszett Cockpit
Einszett Glas Polish

Tools:
3m Sun Gun
Metabo 12-175 with Green and Blue E2K pads
PC with Black side of Adam's E2K pad
Tons of towels

Procedure:
Exterior:
1. Rinsed down the wheels
2. Sprayed down the wheels with some P21S Wheel Cleaner
3. Sprayed down the wheel wells and tires with P21S Autowash
3. Brush and cleaned the wheels and tires with a Boar's Hair Brush and Spoke Brush
4. Rinsed down the wheels, tires, and wheel wells
5. Rinse the car down
6. Used the Foam gun with Adam's Car wash
7. Rinse car off throughly
8. Brought the car in and proceeded to clay the car using Adam's Clay Bar and Detail Spray removed the excess detail spray
9. Masked the car
10. Used the Metabo with Menzerna SIP to polish out all the imperfections. (green pad) a few passes per panel at 1500 rpm (Metabo rotary)
11. After each section was corrected I buffed off the excess polish with a MF Buffing Towel.
12. Used Metabo with Menzerna 106 with E2k blue pad at 1500rpm to finish the paint off with a nice deep wet shine. (removed excess polish with MF Buffing towel)
13. Applied FMJ with the PC. (the owner needed the durability as this is his daily)
14. The test Applied Swissvax Saphir over the FMJ shortly after (as we wanted to bring out the depth..however we are not sure how long it will last and if the FMJ was properly set/cured we will see) but the depth and gloss came out nicely!
15. Cleaned up the windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner (interior/exterior)
16. Polished up the glass with Einszett Glas Polish applied by hand removed by hand
17. Dressed the tires with Adam's VRT
18. Dressed wheel wells with Adam's Undercarriage Spray
19. Used Adam's Detail Spray to clean off the wheels.
20. Used the Adam's Detail Spray for a final wipe down and inspected the car.


Interior:
1. Vacuumed the Interior
2. Wiped down the door jambs with Adam's Detail Spray
3. Cleaned Windows
4. Interior cleaned with Einszett Cockpit on the dash and everything else that was not leather
5. Cleaned and Conditioned the leather with Einszett Leather care

Ok on to the pictures:
