Michelle's X5 all cleaned up....(understatement)
The plan of attack was pretty much the same as Wil's X, make them not want to sell it. What's first....we sprayed the wheels down with P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel, next the wheel wells were sprayed with P21S Total Autowash as well the tires where sprayed as well. Bug and tar were presoaked as well with P21S Total Autowash...you get the picture. We then went on to fill the foam canon with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner knocking out any previous wax, bug and tar and anything else not taken care of by the P21S. The X was rinsed and with the water still on the X we moved on to claying the car, including windows. After claying we moved on to access the condition of the paint. I moved on to using Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna PO85RD to finish off the paint correction. The window trim was polished out using Menzerna PO85RD. As a last step I used Swissvax Blau Weiss for the first time and I have to say it made the car pop very nicely. Interior was just vacuumed. The final touches: The plastic trim was taken care of with Black Wow. Windows were cleaned with Lusso Glass Polish. Tires where dressed with Swissvax Pneu. Door Jambs were cleaned up using Einszett Spray Wax (cleans nicely and adds some protection) Products Used: Exterior: Adam's All Purpose Cleaner in the Cam Spray Foam Canon Adam's Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube Menzerna Super Intensive with the Uber Orange Pad Menzerna PO85RD with the Uber Blue Pad Menzerna Top Inspection Swissvax Blau Weiss Einszett Spray Wax Wheels and Tires Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit Engine: (no photos) P21S Total Autowash Adam's VRT Diluted with Water in a Spray bottle Trim: Black Wow Tools: Infratech 5300 Brinkmann MaxFire Metabo PE12-175 Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun Since it was raining I had no real before shots 111k on this bad boy Prep Getting ready to wash the x in the rain Wheels and wheels wells got sprayed down and cleaned up.

Lovely pics! A dumb question for the blau weiss....I know it's "formulated" for BMW paint jobs, but would it be suitable for other types of metallic paints (such as other car manufacturers)?
Cheers, Dan

Nice job as usual. Michelle needs a new set of pedals though.

Michelle, the X looks outstanding.
Love the attention to detail. Phil, is this a traveling service, or does the car travel to you? (The long drive would likely negate the benefits... time to learn how to do this advanced detailing stuff myself. haha)

total time it took was 11 hours for the exterior.
I don't think you would want to wait that long.

Amazing! The paint looks like it was just poured on.
Michelle also need some new Centric rotors with powder coated hats so no rust.
