Ceramic Coating and TLC

Post by sachak » Sat Dec 29, 2018 2:24 pm

Hey guys, its been a while since I posted anything regarding my Z4.

I recently got my car Ceramic coated as well as a 3 step paint correction as well as a bunch of chips and scratches and all dents removed completely.

I had the front bumper resprayed properly this time! The colours actually match this time and it no longer looks purple anymore, I also had the ugly holes that were drilled into my bumper against my wishes filled in and fixed.
The front bumper was also fitted correctly this time and aligned correctly, I was told that the slider was damaged, it seemed that it was zip tied :? So I bought a new one and they fitted it correctly.

I took my car to a place called Extreme X Autobody Detailing.
Search for them on facebook and have a look at their work, its unbelievable to say the least.

The pictures do this car no justice, the paint is completely and utterly flawless! Looks better than new as the paint has zero texture its just perfectly smooth like a mirror.

Anyways I digress, have a look at the results.

After a couple of days I washed the car and the results were even more astounding!

I also had the calipers professionally painted and a nice clear coat added as well as a ceramic coating too.

My front right rim has a nice bulge in it as I hit a cut out in the road, completely unavoidable as I had an SUV trying to climb into my boot so I couldn't hit the breaks else he would have rear ended me, so that is next on my to do list.

So nice to get your car back from a detailer clean and most importantly with zero white polishing residue left all over in every single nook and cranny. These guys presented the car to me in such an epic way too. Almost felt like I was buying a new car 8)
