Detailing 101 ( BMW 540I )
Hi guys
I have a BMW 540i M sport in for an enhancement detail. Same owner of the X3 I did before, the owner was thrilled and wanted something for his daily driver. He had some concern with some RIDs and I taken care most of them for him. I also made a video upon the owner's request, so I hope you guys enjoy!

Re: Detailing 101 ( BMW 540I )
OT,
Newbie here so please forgive some of these questions.
1. What tar treatment do you use and is it the same for both wheels and paint?
2. Same question for the iron treatment? What does that do?
3. What is OPC foam? Do you just let it sit there for a few minutes and then spray it off?
4. You use a lot of brushes, are they specific to each step or is there a general brush that fits most steps?
5. What is a "2BM" wash?
6. The clay lube was done on the windows 1st to prep the pad before you do the paint? What product do you use for this step?
7. What is QD, IPA, and AIO? Is there a specific brand you recommend?
Sweet work, the car looks great, and I really appreciate you sharing the video!

Awesome video - great shots and editing! You did a great job of not only highlighting your talent/work but also telling a "story" about the world of detailing. Great work on the car too! That paint looked gorgeous in the after shots.

Re: Detailing 101 ( BMW 540I )
awesome video and gorgeous car. I am also wondering what tar/iron "treatments" are you using? I use Ironx and Tarx but thats getting a little expensive. Does anyone know if i can dilute them?

Some Answers below:
3. OPC stands for Optimum Power Clean - it is a product that is a all purpose cleaner that deep cleans most anything that its thrown at and its safe for many surfaces including paint.
5.2BM stands for two bucket method. You use two buckets with grit guards in them to reduce the inducing of swirls and scratches into a paints finish.
7. QD (Quick Detailer) - IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol and Water Mixture used for Prepping for wax/sealant) - AIO (All In One, usually referring to a product that will remove light swirls and have some sort of protective qualities left behind after buffing)
