Black (what else) BMW X5 System One Polish

Finished this metallic black X5 using System One Polish and the X3 product. I tried to keep up with the time spent using this method and figured I am saving 25-30% in time because I only need 1 product to compound and polish. I eliminated the in-between power washes and X3 is getting very comfortable to work with.

Here is my starting reference:





After compounding and polishing. Note: the wheels and wheel wells were cleaned during the final washing.



I finished the vehicle with a coat of Meguiar's #26.







I've got a rougher X5 to start on (the trade-in to this one) and I'll record the hours saved using this product. Meghan, AutoGeek might want to consider taking on this line.

Toto

Looks great as usual!!!! Looks like that System One is working out nicely.

So, are you detailing Santas Sleigh? I think he painted it black just for you!

Toto thats just insane on those reflection shots! Nice to see the system 1 working out for you. Have you always wool compounded with this system or have you used an aggressive foam pad yet?

I'm still using the wool pads for compounding with System One. It's like any product in that you have to work with it for a few cars to get the "feel". I might give it a shot with a compound foam pad just to see what it does, but for now I'm going to stick with wool per their directions.

I'd heard about this not long ago. So I just ordered the polish and wax. I already have the 2 sided pad. Another early Christmas gift to me!
