Thread: 1 of the first 2010 BMW335i in Lemans Blue Metallic by DJ Mayo@ Reflections Detailing

This customer came from Thomas (Tdekany) so thanks again! Thomas use to detail his cars in the past but with his departure, I got the referral. The owner and I have been speaking over the past few weeks trying to set up a time for this detail to take place. Between Thomas and myself telling the owner to make sure the dealer leaves the car alone, I think they got the point. Other than some claying on the front end and a few swirls on the fender, this car was one of the best I have seen from the factory. It's amazing what happens with one of their new car prep washes. Luckily, the dealer listened and left the car looking great so the detail was a breeze to complete. It started to rain so I did a quick ONR wash then pulled the car into the garage to dry. After drying, I wiped the entire car down twice with 91% alcohol to make sure the dealer didn't cover any imperfections. Then I used Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze via white pad @ Speed 6 on PCXP to clean the surface and prep for the sealant. Then, using a blue pad Speed 4.5 on PXCP I applied Blackfire Wet Diamond Paint Sealant. This left the paint looking excellent while being extremely slick. The wheels were cleaned using Chemical Guys Sticky Gel Wheel Cleaner then sealed with Opti-Seal.

For the interior I used Optimum Protectant Plus on the vinly, rubber, plastic trim and Leatherique Prestine Clean on the new leather seats.

This was upon arrival, not normal for your brand new car



The exhaust tips needed a little work so I used Grime Reaper, then Optimum Metal Polish to fix them up correctly.





Right when I finished the detail the rain held up long enough for me to snap a few pictures outdoors. Not the type of pictures I normally capture, but these will do. It was rather cold and these were all taking without a tripod so I apologize. The owner might send me a few more.

I always loved how aggressive the 3 series looked

The car has the "M" Sport Package I was told. That meaning a different front, rear bumper, different side skirts, plus all the "M" logos on the interior.

awesome work there DJ. I was lucky enough to do one (but a darker metallic blue) just a couple of weeks ago. Absoultly georgous cars. Can't wait until spring when I get to see the car again. But man that blue there is simply stunning.

Thank you, Jake! I'll hopefully be seeing this car again in spring and summer and getting some appropriate pictures. How is SC for you?

SC has been great since I got here. So many nice cars down here and no rust issues to deal with LOL.. Lovin it.

Beautiful Color...very nice, perfect for the bmw
