Removal of Front Seats, Center Console Trim, Interior Detail Project

[BMWX5CHI]

I just finished applying Griots Leather Care on the seats and Meguiars Natural Shine Protectant on dash and door panels. Finally I sprayed Griots Interior Car Scent Fine Leather all through out the interior and I cut up a sponge into some small squares and drenched them in spray. I placed them under the seats and I'm hoping that when it get warm, the sponges will release the leather scent. I will be reapplying the leather scent to the sponges every now and then. Hopefully the scent will become one with my X. I also restored my headlights a few months ago, I think they came out pretty damn good. As promised, the finished pictures. Enjoy.

Very ..., very ..., very nice!

How long did that take?

Did you do the 3M DiNOC carbon fiber yourself?

Thanks and Yes, did it myself. Took about 5-6 hours including cleaning the trim and applying two coat of 3m primer. I removed all of the trim(except glove box trim) then took my time and wrapped each piece carefully. Removal time is a whole other story. It gets very tedious when your trying to get it perfect.

DOPE! I want to try wrapping those pieces on my car also. Is it difficult to wrap?

Its not hard to do, but it does take some practice, time, patience, and the right set of tools. I used pry tools, blue painters tape, a heatgun, contact cement, and small brush to apply the 3M primer. That's only for the wrapping process. I removed all of the trim and that there is a whole other story. I wanted a permanent install and even contact cemented the edges on the back of the trim. Its very tedious work if go down the road I choose. Very doable if your willing to take your time and put in the work.

Wrapping isn't so difficult after all... I did the easy parts today (door inserts, 2 small pieces behind the steering wheel). I used CF 3M 1080 scotchprint. I think I might do the glove and the center console on the car...The removal process for those just seems so much work...

You're right! I Should've wrapped the center console trim first..now I don't have enough for it, had to order more. But since it was my first time wrapping, I wanted to start with the smaller pieces first...
