BMW Z4 - 3.0si - Sapphire BlackHi Guys, thanks for reading another write up of mine. This time it's a 2009 BMW Z4!
This car was booked in for:
- Light Correction
detail- Wheels Off
detail Including Cquartz Finest on alloys
- Leather
detail- Brake Calipers and discs painted
This car was booked for a light correction
detail mainly. This removes the vast majority (normally 90%+) of surface scratches. This is a perfect option for a badly swirled car that needs a huge turnaround without needing to spend 3-4 days off the road. This is my most popular option for cars that are driven daily also. The difference is massive, even though it's not a full correction
The car on arrival.
Very badly swirled, and the paint looking lifeless. No flake showing through.
Here you can see the brakes. They are surely in need of some attention. Its a shame to have a light correction done on a car, and the paint looking stunning, only for the car to be let down by areas like this!
Some stone chips the owner asked me to touch in (this requires an extra night in the unit)
Onto the wash/decontamination stages. This is the engine bay being thoroughly cleaned
I didn't take too many photos of my washing the car, as always, you've seen it before!
Claying… removing a lot of contaminants on the paint a wash would leave behind!
Now the wheels have been removed allowing for steam cleaning of the arches & preparing and painting the brakes!
Brakes before!
And after!

After (the aluminium bells on the front were wire brushed and cleaned rather than painted.
Now it was time to properly clean the wheels! Here iron filings are being removed from the paint surfaces
