Detailer's Domain: New Car Prep and Glass Coating - BMW M3

New Car Prep and Glass Coating - BMW M3 Black Sapphire Metallic

2016 BMW M3 gets a new car prep and glass coating installation.

This brand new BMW M3 in Black Sapphire Metallic is coming in for a new car prep and Modesta Glass Coating. The customer brought us the car just the way we like it, a detailer's dream come true an untouched vehicle from the dealership with all the wrappings left on it just as the factory delivered it. Getting the car into your trusted detailer this way in most cases will save the detailer a lot of time correcting what the dealer may put in during a vehicle prep.

Our customer was very keen on a long lasting durable shine, so we suggested a glass coating, in this case we choose Modesta BC-05.
A little bit on Modesta Glass Coating -

Modesta Coating protects your vehicles paint from all kinds of damage including wash-induced damages, scratches, oxidation, sap, watermarks, salts, acids and even permanent ink and paints.

Its strong water-repellent properties also promote the self-cleaning effects producing longer lasting depth & shine.

Wash





Rinse


To ensure that we do not install more light scratches or swirls we would blow of the water with a Metro Air Force Blaster 8 HP Pro


After some compounding and polishing (sorry no photos) we proceeded to

Modesta P-01A Primer
