2007 BMW 750i

[02accordSE]

Well here was my work for the weekend, or at least Friday and Saturday... This is my cousins "new" BMW 750i. The car has 40,xxx miles on it and is not in that bad of condition, but the paint had lots of swirls and rids... I decided to do a partial correction on the car. It came back farely well and I am very pleased with the outcome. I think I can say this is the best work I have done yet. I haven't done many "corrections" so this was big for me. The inside had the normal dirt and daily driver stuff. But it cleaned up nicely.
Process:
Wheels:
*Sonax full effect wheel cleaner
*All purpose cleaner on the tires
*Generic tire shine and protectant
All in all the wheels took me about 45 minutes to clean all the way. They were BAD. I even popped open the trunk to see if the spare had been on the car and yes it has, so I took it out and cleaned and sealed it as well. Looks like brand new.
Inside:
I did a vacuum like normal. I used my Bissel Little Green to just go over the front 2 mats even though they looked fine. But the water that came out was BLACK, or dirty to say the least. On the wood grain, I polished it up with a coat of Collinite 845. That stuff works great on inside wood grain. On the seats I used a Leather cleaner and conditioner I have and they were dry. They look like new now...
Engine:
I used a generic degreaser and agitated everything with a paint brush and and sponge. It wasn't suppose to be a complete cleaning, just make it look nicer to the eye. Didn't use much water, I don't like water in the engine bay...
Outside:
All I did on the outside was I used the Orange LC CCS Pad with Megs Ultimate Compound. And let me tell you this stuff is amazing! I love how this stuff finishes off and how good it works. I had no problems with the application of it or taking it off. As an LSP I just used Collinite 845 which should last quite a while and it finishes up nice. Really leaves a good shine.
Well I bet you are ready for pics so here you go...

I drove a 750i while I was in Germany for 6 months and it's quite a car. It possessed both performance and styling and in the autobahn, (highway) cruising at 260kpr was a effortless for this machine.

The car was in need on a full detail and a full detail is what it received! The before and after photos clearly illustrate your skill and attention to detail. Nicely documented and someones going to owe you in a very BIG way!
