Sully's Detailing: Black 135i - 11-22-2009, 09:55 PM

South Florida's Premiere Detailing Service!!

Ok to start off I did not expect this car to be in such bad shape. The car's owner said that the car was not swirled to bad when he first bought it but after bringing the car to the dealer for two services the dealships detailers hacked up his paint.

Exterior:
Wolfgang Auto Bath
Wolfgang Poly Clay - This clay bar is a medium grade clay and did an excellent job removing all the contaminant that were on the paint surface.
Wolfgang Sprits Quick Detail (Clay Lube)

Rims, Tires, Exhaust Tips
Dodo Juice Rim Cleaner - I was very disappointed in there rim cleaner. The products dries way to fast (rims where cool and I was working in the shade) The wheels I was working on were super dirty and by the time I was done cleaning the rim and I rinsed them off it would leave dirt residue all over the rim. I had to wash the front rims 2-3 times to get them completely clean. I would not recommend this product to anyone that will be cleaning really soiled rims. Stick to Pinnacle or P21S
Wolfgang Poly Clay - Did a great job removing that hard to get caked on brake. it still left some behind. So it would be nice if Wolfgang could come out with a more aggressive clay to.
Steel Wool and Mother all purpose metal polish for the exhaust tips

Interior:
Griot Garage Interior Cleaner
Wolfgang Leather Care Cleaner – This product cleaned the leather with ease. The red leather seats in this car had some black marks and were really dirty. This leather cleaner cleaned them and had them looking new again and ready for the conditioner.
Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner – This is a great leather conditioner I goes on easy with a foam or microfiber applicator and it not sticky or have a high glossy look to it. Also after applying it, it does not leave a bad smell in the car like some leather conditioners do. It really gives the leather a nice rich look to it and brings out the color very well.
Wolfgang Carpet and Upholstery Restore – I used this on the BMW logo on the drive side carpet. It easily turned the brown logo to silver with 2 quick strokes of the brush. So far this product works great. I will be trying this product on a light color carpet soon.

Paint Correction and LSP:
Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover 3.0 - I used the flex light weight with LC orange ccs pad. I started at 1500rpm then brought it down to 1000rpm. I would have to say that this product works just as good if not better than M105. It also finished a little better.
Wolfgang Finishing Glaze – I used the flex light weight with LC white flat pad at 1000 rpm. I applied light to moderate pressure working the product into the paint till it was clear. This left the paint with no holograms and really brought out the metallic flakes in the paint. I would have to say that this product definitely finishes much better than M205.
Wolfgang Fusion – I was amazing how little wax it took to cover the whole car. I applied it over the whole car then I started vacuuming the interior of the car. I left the wax on the car for about an hour and it was so easy to take off. I was amazed on the dept it gave me in the black paint. It was my first time using Fuzion and it have become my new favorite was next to Pinnacle Souveran. I was skeptic about paying $175 for a wax but now I know why it is priced so high because it will make your car glisten

Awesome night and day difference. I just wish BMW would bring back 4-cylinder compact sedans. I think 96 or 97 was the last year for a 4-door 3-Series with less than 6 cylinders in the US. Kinda sad E36 was the last one we got here in the States. A 4-cylinder E46 sedan would be a sweet commuter.

Looks really good - interesting that you left the Fuzion on for that long of a time - I have used it as applying to one panel at a time. I wonder what the benefit is to leaving it on longer?
