BMW M135i New Car Detail

This week brought another combination detail, the customer also wanted easy maintenance but long lasting durability with stunning looks ( Better than showroom finish ) .
We had our usual consultation with the client to discuss through the procedure and his main concerns were with paint corection, we explained that all new cars have minor scratches and blemishes which need correcting and the clearcoat would be to a better finish than factory, once refined.
We then agreed to go with a gtechniq c1 coating then topped with a bespoke mitchell & king wax,wheels were also to be removed and gtechniq C5 armour coated, last of all was a 2yr/30000miles active rain repellant fitted to the glass.

AUDI A7 SLINE , MITCHELL & KING / GTECHNIQ DETAIL

This Audi A7 was to be one of our most indepth and challenging details to date,our client not only wanted his
car to look its very best but also required maintenance to be as easy as possible.
During the consultation we spoke about the how the vehicle was used,this was a daily driver doing business trips up and down the motorway  racking up thousands of miles enduring the worst conditions british weather has to offer.
This confirmed that the best treatment for this vehicle was a combination of Mitchell & King / Gtechniq products to produce a stunning but hard wearing finish.
After a full ph neutral wash and plush towel dry we set about a full inspection with our sun gun and paint depth gauge's.
Heres the detail in pictures
