BMW F10 520i: Opti-Coated

Good day,

Another Opti-Coated BMW F10 520i since months back, this car condition is good. No major correction were carry out during preparation. Somehow, there is bird poop etched on the hood i didnt manage to remove cause its too deep. Without sacrificing too much of clear coat, i didnt go any further. Other panels such as doors, roof, rear bonnet were polished and finished with OHP. Finishing was done with Flex that i borrowed from Seech. Thanks!

As usual, this is the 7th F10 i detailed so far included another  BMW F10 520d, i will post it up soon. I found all the BMWs have one same issue which have micro-marring on the paintwork that not properly finish by the previous detailer before sending to the owner. I really hope all the readers who wanted to invest a BMW should ask the dealer not to send for polish & wax session even tho its free. Here is very good example BMW F10 528i M-Sport which whacked by the previous detailer.

For not delaying, lets continue the article for today. firstly, i wash the car with ONR since there is not much dirt on the paintwork, surface were smoothen with PermaGlass, ONR as lube. Rims and tires were cleaned with DFX 1:1 and OPC 1:3, engine wiped down with Opti-Clean, paintwork polished with rotary and finished with Flex, wiped down with IPA and Opti-Coated all around except rims. Not much pictures taken during the process but hope you guys enjoy!
