ALPINA B5 BMW

After several consultations with our client wondering weather to go for a full Gtechniq or a  Mitchell & King detail we came to the conclusion that the Gtechniq option ticked all the boxes for the clients needs ie low maintenance long lasting durability etc.
This detail comprised of Ph neutral wash,clay bar decontamination, Full 3 stage paint correction to remove marring and scratches in the paint, whilst using our paint depth gauge and 3M sun gun to constantly analyse the surface, making sure we never removed too much clearcoat but also as many defects as was possible.Ater this was completed the car was washed again and dryed using plush towels as to not introduce any fresh marring,the next steps were full body IPA wipe down to remove old compound's wax etc and re check the clarity of the paint before the Gtechniq C1 coating, Gtechniq C1 crystal coating applied then a 12 hour curing period,once cured correctly the vehicle was then coated twice with Gtechniq EXO v2 a super hydrophobic coating,wheels were non acidic cleaned and protected with Gtechnq c5 wheel armour and the tyres conditioned with Gtechniq T1 tyre and trim, all external plastics were treated with Gtechniq c4 permanent trim restorer.The glass was cleaned with Gtechniq G4 glass nano polish then  protected with G1 clear vision active rain repellant which has the capability to last up to 2 years. Last of all was a full interior vac,dash cleaned and conditioned ,all alpina composite panels were waxed and internal windows cleaned.
