2015 BMW X5 M Interior detail

[acuRAS82]

Hi all! I was able to fully clean and detail the interior in the last few days and figured I would share the products and a few pics.

For cleaning up:
-Meg’s D101 diluted 1:4 for a few dirty spots around the door jambs
-Mckees N-914 as final clean/wipe for door jambs
-Meg’s D101 diluted 1:10 everywhere else that is not potentially leather
-Wolfgang Leather Cleaner for all seats and parts of the doors that are leather
-Mckees Fast Interior Detailer for LCD, control knobs, instrument cluster plastic
-Vacuumed floors and trunk. These were shampooed at dealership before I bought the car.
-Meg’s D120 for Interior glass cleaning.

For beautifying and protecting:
-PBL Paint Sealant for door jambs
-Blackfire Interior Protectant on all plastic, vinyl and non-seat leather. Blackfire Interior boasts about its benefits to leather and soft vinyl.
-Wolfgang Leather Conditioner (2 coats 24 hours apart) on all seat leather.
-Mckees Leather Guard UV50 coating on seats, 24 hours after the second Wolfgang Leather Conditioner.
-Replaced floor mats with Weather Tech knockoffs (got a decent price on them).

Below are some pictures I took, and may be the last proof that the interior was ever this clean due to a 3 year old and wife will now officially be let into the vehicle.

Beautiful, acuRAS82! Nice job.

Looks awesome. Man that thing is clean inside. Only suggestion and it’s a minor and good for thought. Should look into something like this seat protector. After we got our new suburban I wasn’t going to have 2 car seats ruin these seats. Hopefully it’s ok to link this. I have 2 of these and they do work well.

Very good suggestion. I’ve seen these when I was purchasing the new baby seat and wondered what the main purpose was. Do you put one of these under each of your baby seats to protect from indenting/crushing the Suburban seat?

Yea sir that is the idea. I can snap a few pictures them tomorrow. We got the biggest we could find. I think the ones liked are what we got. I swapped the seats side to side so I had more legroom and I was impressed not a single indent. Has those small rubbery ball/nuns on the back for anti slip. For all it is I’m impressed. Even if they last a year it was worth it. We also had to do seatback protectors as the 2 yr old loves putted her feet on things

Great work and it looks awesome!

And I second the mineriggers suggestion on a seat protection/cover. I got just some thick foam seat cushion wraped in textile where the baby seat has been sitting on. In 2 years now and no mark from the baby seats in my sisters car. Also got a seat protection I think for dogs since the kids has been sitting backwards. Which have saved the textile car seats very well. So when your kid is reaching the front seat it can be smart to get some kind of protection cover there too. Often there is those with a lot of usefull pockets to have things stored if needed for the kid.

Minerigger, SWETM: Thanks, Ill be ordering these shortly (seat cushion and the seat back protectors). I’ve had the seatback ones with pockets in my Acura and Audi, not sure why it bypasses my thought for this car. The cushion sounds like a win-win too. Anything to keep a little cleaner and protect from the little ones flying feet.
