Gleaming Kleen - BMW M3 CSL

[Jay@Gleaming Kleen]

This was booked in for a 1 day Enhancement Detail, Paul also requested wheels to be removed to be cleaned and protected.

Vehicle was washed in normal manner which consisted of engine bay being cleaned with AG Powermax 3, vehicle was then foamed with AG Powermax and left to dwell 5-6 mins whilst I worked it into all panel gaps and badges. Vehicle was then washed with Megs Shampoo Plus and a lambswool washmit, and finally clayed using Swissvax Paint Rubber.

Wheels were removed....

and after cleaning with Epsuma Revolution Wheel Cleaner and various brushes. Tryes were cleaned with Megs Super Degreaser. Once dry wheel inners were treated to a coat of Zaino CS

Whilst wheels were off arches were given a good clean with G101

As this was only to have a single stage machine polish i used Gloss It One Step Machine Gloss along with Gloss It EVP and a Megs Polishing pad/3M polishing pads. This gave about 85% correction

Although vehicle was booked in just for a single stage machine polish I hit the carbon fiber roof several times as wanted it looking as good as possible as it does make the car stand out IMO. I used Menz 3.02 on a Megs Polishing Pad and it required 2-3 hits to get it looking its best again.

Roof was then refined with 3m Ultrafina. Swissvax Cleaner Fluid was then a applied by hand to paintwork and roof before applying a coat of Swissvax Divine.

Divine was left to cure whilst I carried out some of the smaller jobs such as polishing up the exhausts

Would like to say thanks to Paul for allowing me to work on his MINT CSL and it was a pleasure to meet another forum member:thumbs:

Thanks for looking:thumb:

Thanks for a great job Jay. The car looks great, I thought the paintwork was already good but you definitely showed me how much better it can look.
As you can imagine I haven't taken it out today, been raining all day and I want to keep it clean a bit longer.

My car isn't quite as spotless as it was last Friday when you finished...Oops :whistle:
