M50d Gtechniq new car detail
Hi all
A week or so late posting but here are a few pictures of my new Carbon Black (which looks really blue in some of the photos) M50d being given its new car detail using a whole raft of Gtechniq products: Crystal Serum Light Exo L1 Leather Guard C5 Wheel Armour I7 Smart Fabric Not too many pre-delivery swirls but those that were there were professionally buffed out before being ceramic coated and sealed by Tom at All That Gleams who are based in Chilworth, near Guildford in Surrey. Fantastic service and all at a very competitive price - highly recommended A month in and I am still enjoying the sheer pace of the new addition to the family which has been dubbed The Wild Thing! |

Great job Mark
Brings that deep blue colour out nicely. I'm so looking forward to having mine completed beginning oh May as I feel the paint work is so vunrable without it at the moment. My detailed has said not to wash it until I have the ceramic coating added, however can't bare to see my car looking dirty since pick up. May have to pressure wash/rinse the car next weekend. Now enjoy your X5

I know from your other thread that you are trying to see if your dealer correctly treated your car. Mine doesn't feel waxy at all, just very very smooth. Hope this helps and best of luck in getting your stone chips sorted - they ought to do this as a gesture of good will with it being so new.

Funny thing is that I was going to get the similar coating as yours because I thought there were currently no protection. Yeah hopefully they can help me out. Thanks! |

Hi Mark,
What product do you use to wash the car since applying the paint protection? I heard the shampoo must not contain a wax as this will effect the ceramic coating?

Only washed it once since it was detailed (not too diligent) and use Chemical Guys HoneyDew Snow Foam (as a foam via the cannon as well as a shampoo) which seems to work well

Thanks
Having my detailer finish the car next week, however he has said not to use any shampoo that contains wax. Were you told the same? You enjoying the car as much as I am?
