Envy vs BMW M6 and 2 Italians :-)

Envy Valeting have a long Swissvax history so it was nice to do a Swissvax detail on this M6.

Booked for a correction detail due to swirls, light scratches and in need of a good freshen up. I can do that :thumb:

Washed in the usual fashion ie wheels with Envy Brushes and Espuma Revolution, SSF, Dodo Sour power and dried off. Special attention was paid to the wheels as customer had requested all previous wheel weight glue and foam be removed thoroughly.

 

Defects are pretty apparent

Clayed to remove bonded contaminants. This car was pretty clean I have to say.

Better measure the paint before getting going

Moved indoors even under the lights the defects are pretty visible

Being a BMW no messing, just reached for the fast cut plus and ultrafina on the megs buffing pad and used this combo throughout.

A selection of pics, some polished, some not, some refined, some not.

De-dusted and paint cleansed with Swissvax CF normal it was time for a wax....wonder what?!

Slapped on and left for.....as long as it took me to wax the wheels with Rimwax, dress the tyres with pneu, clean the glass with Crystal, nourish the rubber seals with Seal Feed, polish the exhaust tips etc etc.

When all these jobs were done it was buffed off.

Time taken 16hrs, boy they are big!

 

Now for a couple of Italians from last week

 

My Lancia customer from last year, due for a top up.

Washed and dried, coat of platinum and covered over with a coat of Swissvax Scuderia. Lovely.

Later in the week was time to do a thorough detail to prepare this Maserati 3200 for Auto Italia. Afters only but 2 days of beautification, topped off with Swissvax Best of Show.
