Vive Detailing of Houston Texas - BMW X6 Cement removal, overspray removal, multi-step paint correction, PDR, CQuartz FINEST, exterior detailing

Here's a good turn around.

First off, if you haven't "liked" our Facebook page, please do so here.

Being in business for more than 8 years, here at Vivë we get everything from your everyday vehicles, highest end exotics, collectible classics and unique situations, such as this.

This BMW X6 was parked outdoors for a long period of time due to the customer traveling. When he came back from his trip, the ENTIRE car was covered in baked on cement (the Houston heat doesn't help either), over spray and just layers of dust because of the near by construction. It was all over the exterior paint, emblems, grill, lug nuts, wheels, fender wells and some ended up in the door jambs. Long story short, the customer went to multiple shops in Houston, Texas to get quotes and an evaluation. All came to ONE conclusion: REPAINTING THE CAR estimated at $8,500 to $12,000.

Most of us here know that repainting depreciates the value and matching a BMW Black Sapphire Metallic is not easy.

We took on the challenge and here are the final results. Complete removal of overspray and cement, ZERO painting, paintless dent removal, a two-step Paint Correction to remove surface defects and scratches and finished off with two thick coats of CQuartz FINEST Ceramic Coating. Here are the Before and After pictures:

















Here is the Paintless Dent Removal process:







Highly polished and corrected paint, ready to go through the coating process.

Holy Jesus!, look at what you did!

I suspect the customer was able to save $1k grand comparing to repainting? How much a work like this would cost (please, you're not supposed to answer since it's not a question but a statement), it worths the $8500 repaint quote.

Congratulations my friend.

Can't miss it, 'What a save!'.

Thanks for sharing.

@VIVE DETAILING - Is there a particular product you used for the Running Boards ? I have a 2012 X5 and the running boards are beginning to look funny and not sure what I can do to get it to look yours is. Need Help...

Wow. That's an absolutely amazing job. One of the best turnarounds I've ever seen.
