Long time no write up :oops:
Last weekend seen Beau Technique undertake 2 intensive days of detailing escapades with this newly acquired BMW Z4 M roadster. Client wanted as much swirl markings and tidying up as possible within the time. Included was a light interior tidy up and Renovo deep clean / re-proof to the convertible soft top. Onward with the preparation bravado...

First up, a light spray of water to the roof ready for the Renovo cleaner...

This was thoroughly and evenly applied to the roof...

And left for required time to do its magic. Meanwhile the wheels were next on the agenda cleaning both inner and outer fascia's with various brushes and Dooka wash mitt...

Rinsed thoroughly then treated to Iron x which as you can see was still essential after removing all soiling and grime...

Rinsed and then back to the roof for some much needed agitation to loosen the grime...

This was rinsed via hosepipe to avoid being too aggresive with the fragile nature of soft top's. Vehicle was then foamed with Meguiars apc including arches etc. Tyres and arches dealt with via Vikan brush. Once a few minutes were over, vehicle was washed using the typical 2 bucket method / grit guards / G3 bodywork detox and Dooka wash pad...

Not the filkthiest but proof the 2bm works :thumbsup:

Whole car Iron x treated to remove metal contaminants, rinsed and clayed with Bilthambre and Meguairs last touch detailer which lifted very little actual bonded contaminants...

Final rinse down...

P1050891.jpg


Dried and into the more than adequate work space provided by Jaime's...

P1050902.jpg


P1050903.jpg


Taped up and on with plenty of intricate polishing...

P1050950.jpg


P1050956.jpg


P1060019.jpg


Lots of cutting...

P1060016.jpg



Polishing...

P1060036.jpg


P1060074.jpg


And some very light refining...

P1060053.jpg


P1060025.jpg


To give a very nice level of gloss and clarity to the finish...

P1060027.jpg


50 / 50 for your viewing pleasure...

P1050924.jpg


And a couple of teh finished rear quarter under light...

P1050930.jpg


P1050932.jpg


Many a random deep scratch remained but seeing as paint readings were anywhere between 284 - 90.5um, a slight er on the side of caution had to be adhered.

Once all polishing complete it was time for teh finishing touches...

Amazing... Love seeing your work :thumbsup:

Should have taken it was a quick spin to remove the rusty discs before the final shots thou :poke:
 
:oops: Thanks folks. Was a nice vehicle to sharpen up. Damn shame there was a number of deeper niddling scratches but sometimes its just too far gone. Was a beautiful colour.
 
Very impressive. Although I now feel rather tired just looking at the work involved.
 
Great work that puts my weekend wash to complete shame !! Need to get to work on getting the swirl marks out of mine.
 
Awesome as always Scott how did you find the Renovo cleaner ? i used the proofer after cleaning with AG found it very easy to apply and no beading unlike AG or BMW protection.

What tyre dressing did you ? use as much as i love the gels they are staining the drive big time
 
Cheers guys.

GAZA62 - Valetpro traditional tyre dressing on this one Gaz. Liquid product and easy to use.
