BMW 535D (Carbon Black) Detail

[Nick Goodall]

This is my Dad's 2007 BMW 535D (E60) in Carbon Black

Here are the before pics taken first thing;






I started at 8am, with a nice thick covering of snow foam




This was then followed up by going round the whole car with some G101 and a round brush on all the vents, grills, fuel cap and any other hard to reach areas.



After this i rinsed the whole car off with the Pressure washer, and set about cleaning the wheels with some Very Cherry, and a few different wheel brushes.

The Tyres were sprayed with some G101 and scrubbed thoroughly, I then also sprayed all up round the wheel arches and scrubbed these too before rinsing them off.


Rinsed off



Next stage was to wash using the usual 2 bucket method, shampoo this time was Dodo Juice Sour Power




I then Clayed the car from top to bottom, using some CYC Blue clay, with some Zip wax & water mixed up as lube



The car wasn't too bad, but it was surprising what the Clay was still picking up, particular hot spot as usual was the front wheel arches and lower doors. I gave the car another snow foam to remove all the lube and any remaining dirt



It was then sprayed all over with Meguiars Last Touch which really helps dispersing the water before drying it off with a couple of XL Blue fluffy drying towels.



Last touch working well
