BMW Z4M Coupe Autofinesse Detail
Hi guys
Heres another BMW Z4M autofinesse detail, this one belongs to my childhood friend. He has no time for 2 bucket wash, so I suggested the Enhancement detail with an AF punch. The goal was to restore gloss and protected from California winter ( rains ) Tools used GG DA Polishers Uber Green pads Wheels AG CWC various brushes Tires dressed with AF Gloss Wash 2 grit guard buckets 2 Uber no name towels ONR Auto Finesse Oblitarate Prep Autoscrub and ONR lube Clay Polishing AF Rejuvenate LSP AF desire Before The car was pretty dirty, haven't been washed for months because of his ankle injury. Wheel n tires need much attention Grimes around the car Starting with wheels first as always, but I sold my Kranzle Power washer, so Im doing it old fashion. Rinse, apply AG CWC ( autoglym custome wheel cleaner ) on wheels n tires, agitate all areas, and rinse.

Then attention was brought to the paint, normally I would Foam the car with foam cannon, but I doing this old fashion again. Using AF Oblitarate to knock off as much grimes as possible around the car, then Rinse and perform an ONR wash.
Then I prep the car with Autoscrub and clay ( Autoscrub wasn't behaving good ) Polished with AF Rejuvenate and applied a coat of AF Desire |

Thanks guys!
for windows, I like to use Werkstatt prime strong to get rid of road film n bugs, makes cleaning the glass much easier afterwards, also adds protection and gloss. |

OTD, that looks great. Why did you choose Auto Finesse products? How do you like them?
Are you a local detailer in Los Angeles? |

The AF Rejuvenate packs a lot of cleaning power for white, and has some abrasives to remove some flaws. That's the reason I chose this product for this car. Now you don't have to use a expensive wax like AF Desire, but I like the way its looks, smells, durability, and ease of application. Im mobile located in 91010.

What would you recommend for a darker paint? I have an Orient Blue BMW and it needs a lot of clean up--been neglected a bit for two years inside and out, and she needs to get some loving once the winter ends. I also have some chips on the hood that I'm debating trying to touch up myself or determine whether I really should just get a pro to handle that part before detailing the whole car...
But that Z4 looks pristine with what you did to it. *drool* |

For dark paint I like to use AF tripple to enhance the finish.

Any special priming to be done other than the usual claybar treatment before doing the AF tripler?
