We received a call from a local customer that requested his brand new BMW 550 I Xdrive M Sport get a full exterior prep - paint correction and Opti Coat as well as full front wrap using Xpel Ultimate. This car sat on the lot for a bit and required some attention to get it back to perfect and ready for Opti Coat and clear film installation.

Prep - wheels, wheel wells, tires, decon, clay Adam's APC was used to clean up the tires as well we used Adam's All Purpose Cleaner to loosen up the salt and grime in the wheels wells. Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner sprayed on wheels, once they set up, we make sure to use various brushes to ensure wheels are cleaned up well.       Since we knew the car was on a boat for 3 months and sat in a lot for a few more we knew that there would be contaminants on the paint, we applied Auto Finesse Iron Out to assist in the decon stage, we did this prior to the wash and clay.    Rinse and repeat - we saw more contaminants on the paint so we decided to repeat the process - still pulling fall out off the paint.        Traditional 2 bucket wash  And rinse and repeat the Auto Finesse Iron Out followed with some Stoner's Tarminator and Auto Finesse Obiltarate - we have found Obiltarate to be quicker and stronger.       Auto Finesse Iron Out pulling contamination out of all the crevices     Uber Yellow Poly Clay bar and Nanoskin Autoscrub Mitt were use in the decon process.   Claying in tight spots    Before shot of the rear bumper with rail dust, fall out, etc  After  Car prepped  Polishing - there were a lot of imperfections on the paint, all in clusters on various parts of the car.

Another fabulous job.
 I can really appreciate this particular job, since my car is Alpine White as well and is pretty difficult to spot surface scratches and whatnot. I also notice that you used both the nanoskin mitt and clay... Any particular reason for using both, aside from using the clay in the narrow, tight spaces?
