Message: <blockquote data-quote="Veloc" data-source="post: 1064296645" data-attributes="member: 92511">This BMW X6 was sent in for a detail. A few random deep scratches around but those were not tackled. The aim was to remove swirls, to restore colour and gloss.Starting from the wheels. The chrome was masked by the dirt. Front wheels have plenty of brake dust.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DMtMOs1eiBE/UVsYdkWWrDI/AAAAAAAABz8/gOFzuUrtfaA/s640/DSC03055.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A 50/50 shot before and after. Wheels were cleaned by Optimum Power Clean<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4XfzIMNvWCI/UVsYd-bDKDI/AAAAAAAAB0A/OsrrWIufdG4/s640/DSC03061.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The dirt collected from 4 chrome wheels.<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J_L61uYEzuU/UVsYW-NTjnI/AAAAAAAABzw/l5018DBavXY/s640/DSC03064.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The wheels were further treated with Iron-X to breakdown and dissolve any embedded iron particles.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eWK75h1P-2s/UVsYmAlLsvI/AAAAAAAAB0Q/DpVayvezOZs/s640/DSC03067.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A friend from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/autocarels?fref=ts" target="_blank">Auto Leather</a>, meticulously polishes the delicate aluminium parts with mini electric tools.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TbPtPAuDByE/UVsYpQzKQQI/AAAAAAAAB0Y/SPXZhjqHZME/s640/DSC03072.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4QJdvJoUehQ/UVsYlqBIanI/AAAAAAAAB0I/l3XxKsCeub0/s640/DSC03070.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />One does not simply neglect these small, nevertheless important parts.<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n0ih36bOb5s/UVsY0FfGIAI/AAAAAAAAB04/nRWV2eP1t5E/s640/DSC03082.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />As for the paint correction, a 50/50 shot shows the effectiveness of swirl reduction and colour restoration. Note the deeper, richer colour on the left. the paint was compounded with Optimum Hyper Compound on wool pad followed by Optimum Hyper Polish on finishing pad.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3XaGOTp5aeA/UVsYvX1eXwI/AAAAAAAAB0o/t46mJ6I07A8/s640/DSC03088.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A close up 50/50 shot<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o1R-mha6V1Q/UVsYxrJUzII/AAAAAAAAB0w/R0lOObw7Dqs/s640/DSC03098.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Plenty of swirls on the bonnet<img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_ln2Hf6-38I/UVsY7kr21MI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/zt46qncDPuM/s640/DSC03103.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />After correction.<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lOnIAsY_KLg/UVsZG7tPYqI/AAAAAAAAB1w/36147jR1-GU/s640/DSC03115.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The car was waxed with Autoglym High Definition Wax for a HD finish.<img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-URe1kkNrfZk/UVsY9KvYTQI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/wHhLUHuhVYQ/s640/DSC03105.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jb0ynF0AUO4/UVsYsAwCdMI/AAAAAAAAB0g/23e2V3y560Y/s640/DSC03074.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--caqIuFU2HI/UVsZHXhecFI/AAAAAAAAB14/GUhk5e9RfxY/s640/DSC03109.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Rich gloss.
