Full day detail on my new F30 Mineral Grey - wash, decon, polish, coating

New Car Prep....complete

Products Used:

*CarPro Reset soap mixed with Shine Supply APC for Strip Wash
*Tuga Devil Wheel Cleaner
*Shine Supply Wise Guy Tire and Rubber Cleaner (scrubbed the rubber window and door trim with a detail brush prior to wash)
*Compressed air and Gyeon Silk Dryer
*CarPro IronX and Gyeon Iron for paint decontamination
*Polyshave Decon Towel and block(s) with CarPro Immolube clay lube *Shine Supply Classic Cut w/ MF pads on Rupes 15 Mk II for a few spots that had some hard water stains/defects
*CarPro Reflect finishing polish w/ white foam pad on Rupes 15 Mk II and Rupes Mini
*Shine Supply glass polish on windshield
*CarPro Forte glass coating on windshield
*Nanolex EX polish and oil remover (also found out this stuff works super awesome as a glass cleaner)
*Nanolex Si Shield prototype pro-sumer paint coating from Phil Yiu at Detailers Domain - SUPER easy to apply and wipe off, zero waiting time to cure...more thoughts on it later
*CarPro PERL 1:1 on tires (2 coats) and rubber trim (3 coats)
*1Z Einzsett Cockpit Premium for interior plastic
*Gyeon Leather Coat for seats, arm rests, and steering wheel
*Nanolex EX as a glass cleaner combined with MF Madness Cloudbusters and Uber Hi Tech glass towels (great combo that is now my go to)
*MF Madness Crazy Pile towels used exclusively on the paint
*MF Madness Incredimitt and Incredipad used exclusively during the 2 bucket wash

I wish I would have been able to take better pictures of the fully completed car but the lighting was so-so and quite frankly I was beat and ready to go to bed!

Foam cannon soak with CarPro Reset soap and Shine Supply APC to use as a strip wash of sorts to get all of the old garbage wax that the dealership probably applied off of the paint prior to polishing



Sprayed the entire car down with CarPro IronX to decon the paint. On a white car it would look like the paint was bleeding but here you can see where it's running off the car as it works to get the iron and metal particles off of the paint.



Filthy wheel that I sprayed Tuga Devil Wheel Cleaner on to decontaminate and thoroughly clean the barrel of the wheel and behind the spokes.


And the clean wheel afterwards


One of the few finished product pics I was able to get with decent lighting.

Thanks! That was 50% of what sealed the deal for me on this car. The other 50% was the 6MT.
