-vacuum thoroughly
-spot treat with Folex


Exterior:

-Super Clean 1:1 on wheels/tires/wells
-Wash with Zaino Z7 and Eurow sheepskin mitt
-Clay with Zaino Z18 clay and DP 4-in-1 as lubricant
-Polish with AIO via PC and polishing pad
-Seal with Zaino Z5 Pro
-Top with Zaino Z8
-Dress tires with Zaino Z16
-Clean glass with Eagle One 20/20

The paint on this one was pretty good overall. A little soft, but no clearcoat problems.

nice work but those cars look so dated now- theyre still nice my cousin has an 8 cylinder theyre nice but dated. You do really good work where are you located? we need a good detail guy at my shop have you ever done any exotic cars? maybe once our cars are done we could send em your way if your close which you probably arent

I'll post the pictures of the new BMW 5 series that I detailed in another thread when I upload them. Great cars IMO, not the fastest, but damn the luxury is nice. I didn't use Zaino, looking to purchase it soon though. I used McGuires NXT wax, with claybar, and McGuires wash
