Procedure:
1. Rinsed down the wheels (they were cool enough to touch)
2. Sprayed down the wheels with some P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
3. Brush and cleaned the wheels with a Boar's Hair Brush
4. Rinsed down the wheels
5. Filled the bucket with water and soap
6. Used the Shmitt to wash the car, from top to hood to sides to rear.
cleaning the Shmitt after each panel was soaped up by dunking it in the bucket with the grit guard at the bottom, rinse and clean the pad and continue on to the next panel repeat till you finish washing each panel.
7. After you wash the car rinse car off throughly
8. Dried the car with a Waffle Weave Drying Towel.
9. Used Adam's Detail Spray and Adam's Clay bar to clay the entire car
10. Used the Metabo with the Menzerna SIP and the E2K green and yellow pads to polish out all the imperfections.
11. Used the Metabo with Menzerna 106FF with the E2K blue pad to polish out the car to a mirror finish.
12. Applied and removed Menzerna FMJ
13. Cleaned up the windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner (interior/exterior)
14. Dressed the tires with Adam's VRT (did one pass on the applicator and did a pass using the dry side as the customer prefers a matte finish)
15. Used 1Z Detail Spray to do a final wipe down on the wheels.
16. Used the 1Z Detail Spray for a final wipe down on the car.

Interior: (this was one of the worst we have ever done!)
1. Wiped interior downwith 1Z Plastik (plastic cleaner amazing check the review) followed by 1Z Cockpit.
2. Vacuumed the mats, carpet, etc.
3. Wiped down and scrubbed the leather with Leather Master Strong and then conditioned with Leather Master Protectant. (typically we would use Adam's or 1Z Einszett but this one was so bad we have to use something much stronger)
4. Cleaned the glass with Adam's Glass Cleaner
5. Wiped down the jambs with 1Z einszett detail spray.

Engine:

Engine cleaning was done after the wheels, as the engine was still warm
1. Rinsed down the engine
2. Sprayed some P21S Autowash on the engine
3. Brushed the dirt and grime off the engine with a boar's hair brush
4. Sprayed down engine to rinse the P21S off
5. Closed the rear hatch and let it dry
6. Wiped down the jambs and the metal parts with 1Z einszett detail spray.

Let's start with the engine:

dr.jay 06-04-2007 07:30 PM

xx3 06-04-2007 07:42 PM

China Man 06-04-2007 08:19 PM

detailersdomain 06-04-2007 08:24 PM

hold on for the 997 tt pics I did an wash and a coat of wax on it (Swissvax Saphir.)

Verbalkint 06-04-2007 09:20 PM

That ride was on life support, and you brought it back from the dead.

All your hard work certainly paid off.

Very nicely done. :bow:

Q: What did you use on the exterior trim? VRT?

detailersdomain 06-04-2007 09:32 PM

Yes VRT on the tires, and on the trim, 1Z einszett Gummi Pflege

Thanks!

LeMansX5 06-04-2007 09:38 PM

That's one of the dirtiest car I have ever seen. Well done!:thumbup:

TQ2K 06-04-2007 09:47 PM

I'm hoping he paid at least $500 for that cleaning/detailing work...

China Man 06-04-2007 10:24 PM

I'm estimating $1000 ..... :D

AzNMpower32 06-04-2007 10:48 PM

WOW that's an amazing job, even moreso considering how neglected it was! :wow: Great work you've got there :thumbup: I bet it could pass as CPO ;)

Man I wish I had that kind of time, money (to buy all those products), and energy to do that to the X3. :rolleyes:

detailersdomain 06-04-2007 10:57 PM

its much cleaner but CPO nah...

Nice job :thumbup:

ncx 06-05-2007 08:19 AM

Now that was an extreme makeover. :thumbup:

PersonaNonGrata 06-12-2007 08:34 PM

That is simply amazing work Phil. I would have turned that car away and saved myself the headache but you certainly renewed it. Would you mind revealing how much that service cost the neglectful owner?
