Having performed a Zaino Protection Detailing on a brand new Landrover Discovery for Marcus a customer of mine earlier this year, he contacted me regarding a 6 year old Z4 that he had purchased recently and wanted me to inspect the paintwork and interior. After meeting with Marcus and looking over the car he decided that he would like the car thoroughly Detailed and protected with Gtechniq Crystal Lacquer for the paintwork, and also Gtechniq wheel armour plus Clear vision glass coating. Once the car was washed using the multi-step safe method, it was clayed to remove quite a bit of tar and other contamination. Once under cover after measuring the paintwork and looking at it under lamps, I could tell that the car was in exceptional condition. For a 56,000 mile, six year old car it was in excellent original order. Just the bonnet and boot needed some correction to bring this back to its brand new condition. If all cars now had as hard paintwork as on this BMW then swirls and minor scratches would probably be a thing of the past. (Not good for me, I know). Probably the ceramic that maybe in the paintwork now on this type of paint. Some pictures below of some stages of the Detail. No close up shots of defects, as they probably would not show up to well on camera being this colour of car, and as there were only minor defects. Having said that it definitely would benefit from a couple of stages of machine polishing all over. So that is exactly what we did before adding the final coatings. Two pics below show the car on arrival. Apart from being a bit dirty, it lacked a bit of shine.   Below: Snow foam bath.   Claying the vehicle removed quite a bit of muck.   Some finished shots with the Gtechniq sealant applied.       |
