Swissvax'ed: The Shiniest Sapphire Black 135i you've ever seen, with Blau-Weiss wax!

[ScheerSpeed]

This car was brought to me by Viral @Active Autowerke. He had just recently purchased the car. This car's previous use was registered as a cupcake delivery car for a bakery.

The car is a 2008 BMW 135i in Black Sapphire Metallic (447) with nearly 50K miles, and from the looks of it, had never gotten any "proper" detailing.

We decided to give the car a single stage polish using Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional and a Swissvax White pad. We finished off the detail with Swissvax Blau-Weiss wax for BMW Paint systems.

After cleaning every single body crevice, the engine compartment, wheels, door jambs, and gas cap area; then protecting all the plastic and rubber exterior components, it's time for a safe, Scratch-free wash using Swissvax Car Bath and a Swissvax Waschpudel.




After the wash, I started claying the exterior surfaces, including the glass, while Beni worked on the interior, giving the dried-out and dirty leather a much needed revival using the proper Swissvax interior care products.
