i am AUTOS - X5

[Andr3wilson]

Hey guys,

Been a while since I posted a detail, but this was a fun one so i post!

Brand new X5 - 200km on the clock. We were aiming for the +95% correction with a two step correcting polish and jewelling, followed with a custom tailored COSMIC paint coating.

Two Bucket wash with CG Citrus W&G

Washing out the wheel wells

There was either no dealer prep, or rip off dealer prep. They did not do a fallout remover so the car really needed a good decon.

Wiped on IRON SERUM, then rinsed off. Next clayed.

There was all sorts of marring all over the car. Mostly light stuff - factory and dealer wash.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/2344/DSC_1624.jpg (http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/74090)

To correct, we utilized POLISH ANGEL MASTER POLISH II on a yellow pad. Then to prep for coating, INVINCIBLE primer on a black finishing pad, then COSMIC paint coating.

Certain parts, we switched out the rotary to a Rupes 15 with the new MF cutting disc and MASTER COMPOUND; rupes MF disc is SUPERB!!

After INVINCIBLE primer polish

http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/2344/DSC_1645.jpg (http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/74099)

The trim pieces I taped over was to protect the Xpel PPF. It was installed the day before coming to me, and I didn't want the edge of the pad catching it and pulling it up by accident.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/2344/DSC_1668.jpg (http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/74109)

Next applying the COSMIC paint coating. The coating was tailored to the 416 Carbon Black BMW paint for added depth and colour intensity.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/2344/DSC_16881.jpg (http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/74119)

Winter rims were removed, cleaned and coated with VIKING COAT. A more durable, salt resistant version of COSMIC

Thank you!! This one we did two coats. Yes my biz partner will be doing 4 coats of a black COSMIC on his car. I will be posting a 4-6 layer job on my black truck soon too!

Thanks! I was using the Rupes MF pad. It is currently the only MF pad that MASTER COMPOUND works really well with. I did an awesome 50/50 on a black tahoe with it, should be posting on my website soon.

Thanks Mike! Funny how Carbon Black is the blue-black and Sapphire Black is the Black-Black :confused:
