I had this E39 BMW in for a single day enhancement detail. A new purchase for the owner - it looked great at first, but the car was covered in swirls and sun cream hand prints. It was cold so no wash shots, just one of the wheels… the owner took it to a hand car wash on the way over :ai: ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_204cae55e3b34c2025cf8ccb0c50f8a3a0.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/a/a/aa2ac967004d6c3580031f22c7409ff5d166c5b0.webp) I guess they done a good job then. Once fully cleaned up and taken inside, the vulnerable areas were taped up and the car was ready for polishing. A single stage machine polish was all that was allowed for. Spot pad work first. ![r_Detailing_BMW_209eaa719a30cf60fd0590a331466f7ca0.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/7/e/7ee5210b0f82bc4c65fc1524863dcdaedb20ac75.webp) After ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_206639eb4073fc422284b858449ead682f.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/6/4/645617f4c58f2bcd5c76f9e4558602ace4165459.webp) Before on the drivers door ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_20c5725ef76fc41618c31f64d007fd30ba.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/f/2/f29d265d9eb09541b53541c081204ac170d83bc1.webp) After ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_200bddf75f6a1e87100ff8a9691c0df37a.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/e/7/e711f93449d475537e20f15fec32ac1da7a66caf.webp) Under different lighting ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_209d151c294dad73acf8919105e69d2ef8.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/9/e/9e6b366b9b7f19279465d792c694ed3092598892.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_20dd82b9ab1f85303887b68dc7d4fd2179.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/4/0/40d67290455e5e6436d162ae68942659f170b274.webp) Some lovely sun cream ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_20c2966c495d0160945bd71907667617c9.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/4/d/4d77c2e4bd413b53a8e8cc5db106c1a72a1f7695.webp) Removed ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_201c4df2ff6c6128befc2a3711b800aac3.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/e/5/e5c1d1aef471d7a466b73daca820ced8b28d291a.webp) Before ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_2004f9ce1c25c1a7d8b1d2ed9911f92638.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/1/6/167ef7722ed3b372e3cc118cfddcb04d534fa4e5.webp) After ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_2067745d34d6fb8ed469157545b4def52d.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/2/8/28a8ae9598eb4075ab95ace35a4af712448609af.webp) Tape off, ready for wax. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_2017a208de535ac10fa1c1581c1f29b95f.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/b/f/bfacdf367118d5b4b9cde15c78565a2e911fdf66.webp) 2 layers of Auto Finesse Spirit were used for some great protection. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_209c15cc1f4a7be908dc79640eed42926f.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/1/a/1a82f92aee6a91f0eb5157f57f245d1c21c04755.webp) The tyres were dressed with Meg’s Endurance Trims with Auto Finesse Revive Glass with Gtechniq C4 and C5 Wheels Protected with Mint Rims Finished shots ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_20ceaaf323374c5691f61880bfa6e7aa7b.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/d/5/d50c4b3065dec2678e7866305a06a1dac3a323ec.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_20ab656636cb078b3ece52d4cf0c6ce86a.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/f/0/f0b7b50a61dd88a7282b605518aead14a2a31fe4.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_200440e8b7dfb3bb62dc015bcde16e93b1.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/8/2/827deb7268f6256df868edda79b84596d09e0cb9.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_2030ea134bc5b7c720118b09e9612bbf66.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/1/7/17fc6d50862a99d9211fcdbbc760ae9befc0a492.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_20b0d64cd850d4c3b61a9cfe8c90b76e98.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/1/a/1ac8169fb29bbf654783b3606ee7f01d01b47d67.webp) ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_20575c0ca53190a360523571fb71f31d95.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/f/5/f5f514776f717ced8defd357a8c19d97578aa602.webp) Thanks for reading 🙂 Comments or questions welcomed, as always. ![i59.photobucket.com_albums_g319_pimpscratcher_Detailing_BMW_2037cff5d7d7b1ff8aa53fc4a8a4a9cf98.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/b/c/bcb00c9cfbb0064a18bf1f497a142bd829229024.webp) ---
