I would defer to the more experienced members here but I have my own experience with 845. Late last fall I applied some to my sapphire black metallic 650iX and drove every day to work (110 mi round...
In my limited experience you will not be able to remove swirls effectively without a machine polisher. The PC sold here is an inexpensive way to get started. I have even heard pros here say they do...
I don't know much as I am a total amateur, but I do know that whatever touches my paint must be of high quality. I have learned the hard way that cheap microfiber towels induce swirls and scratches...
Back to the original question, I have a '13 BMW with the same Sapphire Black Metallic paint. Last year I did a full compound, polish and seal so this year I was planning on only doing polish and seal...
As a car buyer I would love to have had that option. Instead, my dealer talked me in to a product called CilaJet. At the time, I knew nothing about detailing. I joined this forum AFTER I bought my...
Similar experience. My Kwazars with IPA and Uber rinseless are going strong after a year, but my Kwazar with M-37 APC failed after 2 months. Took it apart, cleaned it and still no joy. I now use...
I can't say what the absolute minimum would be but I just put WDGPS on my BMW this weekend after polishing. I got the garage temp up to 54F and the product worked fine. I let it sit for an hour after...
Fantastic work! That is my color as well. Last year I purchased a '13 650iX GC in BSM and that is how I ended up on Autogeek. I had never done any detailing before, so I learned a lot from people...
My experience is similar to yours. I became interested in detailing last year after purchasing a BMW 650iX GC in Black Sapphire Metallic. Never had a black car...
I have used these products and I can say I am totally satisfied with them. I used the rejuvinator first as it is recommended on the coating product. I have about 8 weeks on my tires now and they...
cruzer23, I used the CarPro Ceriglass product and it works as advertised. I used my Flex 3401 as I do not have a rotary and the GG Microfiber pad. It was a LOT of work. In fact, I gave up after about...
Back in February I purchased the McKee's tire coating kit - McKee's 37 Tire Coating Kit It has the tire rejuvenator, coating, applicators, brushes and even some gloves. I also got the wheel coating...
Just finished 9 days of detailing my BMW 650iX GC. I was limited to after work and weekends. I divided the car up into sections and did wash, clay, compound, polish, paint prep and coating for a...
I am on my second VX-5000. They are a great company. I use it in the interior of the car as well, but I was using it for other cleaning tasks for years before I got into detailing my cars, so I have...
Paul, Thanks for the encouragement. I use that combo as it was recommended here for hard BMW paint. As you know, that BSM color is a swirl magnet. Just parking the car in the garage it draws swirls...
I am currently using this combo with my Flex 3401 on my Sapphire Black Metallic BMW. I am an amateur and I am getting very good results. Seems to have a long working time and wipes off easily. The...
natewood70, I took a job 4 years ago 58 miles from home. It is the best job I have ever had. I genuinely love driving to work every day. I have lots of books on tape to listen to so the time goes...
