BMW gets a "cyclone detail"

Sharing with you a detail job that was carried out last year. 

This beauty came to us in need of shine and gloss, she was accompanied by another guest..... "Cylone Imelda" 

letting the pics speak.


On arival



front view



and the big boss inspecting




Wash
Starting with the wheels




The paint work







Water clinging on the surface, a sign of a poorly maintained paintwork







Claying




the clay bar after one section..... it finally got worn out completely




the windscreen.... initially looking like bird droppings but looking at it closely....




Flakes coming out of the glass..... what this is?

Corrected windscreen

WET WET WET "Love is all around"

Do you remember the lyrics? How about this one?

Imelda is all around 

Swirls and RIDS

Corrected

The hood

Corrected

The roof

oxidation, bird dropping stains. Swirls and RIDS are there but not captured by the camera in cyclonic weather

The roof after

Mirror! Mirror!

After correction and refining

just need to complete a wipe off to shine like a mirror, same as the driver's side 

Only 1 pic, it was clearer than what is captured by the camera due to the persistent rain, moist and wind.

Detail completed... in the company of an uninvited guest.... waiting for rain to stop to take some shots... but it wasn't to be....

started to dry, but all getting wet all the time, thanks to Imelda 

WET WET WET Imelda is all around  

Beads are all around

Imelda beads

Wash and Decontamination

 

 



Claying the upper surfaces

 

 

Tar spots , plenty of them in the lower areas

OMG! OMG!

To the paintwork:

Heavy swirls

The long term effect of bird droppings

 

 

Plenty of bird poo stains under fluorescent light

 

 

Heavy correction by way of damp sanding

 

 

Improved  

More scratches..... deep ones.... clear coat and paint gone

 

Close-up

Improved .... not noticeable from a metre

More correction work

 

 

 

Thorough inspection and marking of deep isolated defects

 

 

 

90% + of defects removed.....  



 

 

 

 

The sun test

Holograms after heavy correction. These were taken care of with the finishing step.
