DetailersDomain.com - BMW 550i X M Sport - Alpine White - New Car Prep/Opti Coat/Xpel
We received a call from a local customer that requested his brand new BMW 550 I Xdrive M Sport get a full exterior prep - paint correction and Opti Coat as well as full front wrap using Xpel Ultimate. This car sat on the lot for a bit and required some attention to get it back to perfect and ready for Opti Coat and clear film installation. Exterior - Wheels were prepped with Sonax Wheel Cleaner and cleaned up with various brushes - Tires were spritzed down with Adam’s All Purpose Cleaner and washed down - Wheel wells were cleaned up - Washed with Adam's Car Wash - Decon with Auto Finesse Iron Out - Wash down and rinsed - Door jambs were cleaned up - Nano Scrub AutoScrub - Dried - Tires dressed - Masking - Paint Measurement - Compound - Menzerna FG400 - Final Polish - Sonax Perfect Finish 4/6 - Last step - Opticoat - Inspection with Fenix, Brinkmann, and natural sunlight - Wheel wells were cleaned - polished - Opti Coat - Rubber and Plastics Treated - Exterior windows and mirrors cleaned and sealed - Exhaust tips cleaned - Windows were auto scrubed, cleaned, and sealed Products used: Adam's Car Wash Auto Finesse Iron Out Stoner's Tarminator Auto Finesse Oblitarate Sonax Multi Star Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner NanoSkin AutoScrub System Menzerna FG400 Sonax Perfect Finish Opti Coat Optimum Bond Tire Gel Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner Auto Finesse Rejuvenate Tools used Uber Wool Wash Mitt Uber Quick Detail MF Towels Uber All Purpose MF Towels Rupes LHR75E Rupes BigFoot LHR 21ES Random Orbital Polisher Rupes BigFoot LHR 15ES Random Orbital Polisher Uber Buffing Pads Meg's MF Cutting Pad Defelsko Paint Meter Fenix TK35 Kranzle Pressure Washer Uber Foam Canon 2 Grit Guard Buckets with Caddies Adam's Firehose Nozzle Metro Air Force Blaster Before - we received the new BMW in salty shape - believe it or not this was 7 miles of driving in salt to our shop! Prep - wheels, wheel wells, tires, decon, clay Adam's APC was used to clean up the tires as well we used Adam's All Purpose Cleaner to loosen up the salt and grime in the wheels wells. Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner sprayed on wheels, once they set up, we make sure to use various brushes to ensure wheels are cleaned up well. Since we knew the car was on a boat for 3 months and sat in a lot for a few more we knew that there would be contaminants on the paint, we applied Auto Finesse Iron Out to assist in the decon stage, we did this prior to the wash and clay. Rinse and repeat - we saw more contaminants on the paint so we decided to repeat the process - still pulling fall out off the paint. Click here for the complete write up |

That is simply amazing! I have been thinking of having something very similar done on my car. Can you share a ballpark price for a service like this? Obviously I would have to have a local place do the work for me but I just want to get an idea of cost.
