Cilajet - Interior and Exterior

newbimmerx5 · 01-10-2014, 01:44 PM

So, After much research and talking with friends...I have decided to get the CilaJet treatment done. I have done this after a month since I picked the car from the factory.

They have detailed the CAR inside and out. (well, new car)
The CAR shines like a new Gold Coin after the treatment and I can notice the difference.
The interior is also done along with wheels. I am bit worried of applying chemical to leather seats but i don't notice any difference after the treatment.
I have noticed a mild chemical smell but I think it will be gone in a day or two.

Good part is that it will come with 10 year warranty with another application due at 5th year. Warranty includes, stain protection, exterior protection etc.

Overall, I am happy.

Ditto, got mine as well. So far no issues.

NewbimmerX5 thanks for the photos. Is your truck Sapphire Black or Jet Black? Looks like a Jet to me.

What other options did you consider other than cilajet that sounded like good options? What made you choose coating versus film application? Thanks

That's Sparkling Brown.
I took warranty on Tires. I thought Film distracts the sparkling effect on metallic colors.

Here are some exterior pics of my X5 which was delivered the 17th in the Netherlands, Car was detailed by A1 Car Cleaning the following way:

car is washed & cleaned with CG D-con iron particles remover
removed some glue residue and degreased with SH 7010
paint was tiptop, no scuff marks whatsoever
paint is polished with Rupes 21 Bigfoot and Modesta Primer P-01a
paint and wheels are coated with Modesta coating BC-05
glass is coated with Ceramic Pro Rain

They did a SUPERB job in my opinion. And I'm delighted they found the time to detail my car.

Looks good Diper. I have ordered those same wheels for mine. They look awesome.

Looks good, maybe for all the money they should clean the wheel well....LOL...

I had my new car done and have had my other cars done with cilajet. The thing to remember is do NOT wax your car if treated with cilajet. I will dull your car's finish over time. Just use water and sometimes use Windex.
